One of the routes that you should not miss is the Los Miradores Route.
Imagine waking up in Las Mimosas del Nalón, your home in Asturias, opening the window and feeling the fresh air of the Cantabrian Sea. The day promises adventure, because just a few minutes away one of the most spectacular routes of the Asturian coast awaits you: the Ruta de los Miradores.
This trail, also known as the Coastal Path of Muros de Nalón, is much more than a walk: it is a sensory journey. Each step among its cliffs gives you a new scenery - the sea crashing against the rocks, the intense green of the forests and the tranquillity that only Asturias can offer.
The route: viewpoints with a seafaring soul
The route starts in San Esteban de Pravia, very close to our accommodation, and unfolds like a natural walkway towards some of the most photogenic corners of the coast.
- Mirador del Espíritu Santo, where the horizon seems to have no end.
- La Atalaya, perfect to feel the power of the sea.
- Los Galayos, with breathtaking cliffs.
- Punta del Campón, one of the most magical spots on the trail.
The path borders wild coves such as Conciquina, Xan-Xún or Las Llanas, and ends at the well-known Playa del Aguilar, an ideal place to rest after the walk. We recommend you go down to Las LLanas beach, the access is not easy, with a steep descent, but it is worth a swim in its crystal clear waters 😉.
The complete route is about 4 km (one way), easy to walk in about two hours. Ideal for families, couples or any traveller who wants to enjoy a different plan during their holidays in Asturias.
A charming alternative: crossing the ria by boat
However, if you want to add a special touch to your experience, you have another unforgettable option: travelling part of the route by boat.
In summer, from July to September, La Carmela, a traditional boat that connects San Juan de la Arena with San Esteban de Pravia, operates. It is a unique way to cross the Nalón estuary and start your route from the sea, enjoying views that few travellers know about.
In addition to the direct trips, La Carmela offers guided tours along the estuary, lasting approximately 50 minutes, during which you will discover historical gems such as the Castle of San Martín or the Palace of La Magdalena.
