Some journeys are planned with a map.
And there are others that begin much earlier: when the body asks to breathe, the mind dreams of silence, and the soul needs to return to simplicity.
Asturias is one of those places.
Here the green isn't seen: it's breathed in.
The sea is not contemplated: it is heard.
Gastronomy isn't tasted; it's remembered.
And each corner holds a story waiting to be lived.
At Las Mimosas del Nalón, we call it this: feeding the senses.
Because a holiday in Asturias isn't a list of places to tick off. It's the smell of freshly baked bread, the salty breeze coming through the window, the sound of the Nalón river on its way to the Cantabrian Sea, a lengthy, unhurried conversation after a meal, a coastal cliffside route, an almost secret beach, and that very Asturian feeling of finally being where you wanted to be.
Asturias is not visited. Asturias is felt.
Our pace: unhurried, with soul
Asturias is not a destination for rushing. It is discovered slowly, with senses alert and heart open.
Here every corner demands its time:
a seafront café,
A green road that invites you to stop,
a hidden beach between cliffs,
a seaside town that smells of salt,
A communal table with the taste of cider, cheese, and home.
That's why, from Las Mimosas del Nalón, we suggest you experience your holidays with calm and simplicity:
A plan for the morning. Another for the afternoon. And always free time to enjoy.
Because the important thing isn't to see everything.
The important thing is to feel it well.
Your home in the heart of Asturias
We are in San Juan de la Arena, next to the mouth of the Nalón, just 10 minutes from the airport. A perfect spot for exploring the central coast and getting around the region with ease: head west, towards the mountains, or to the cities.
From here you can live Asturias chapter by chapter, returning each day to the calm of Las Mimosas, your haven between adventures.
Choose an area.
Choose a route.
Leave room for improvisation.
And let Asturias do the rest.
Because here journeys aren't measured in kilometres.
They are measured in moments.
Some of our favourite routes
- Cudillero, with its colourful houses and maritime aroma.
- Cabo Vidio, where the wind and cliffs steal your words.
- Playa del Silencio, where the sea lowers its voice and time stands still.
- Puerto de Vega, a village to be savoured slowly and remembered always.
- La Regalina, a perfect balcony to the Cantabrian Sea and soul sunsets.
- Senda de los Miradores, our most beloved seaside walk.
- The Bear Route or Somiedo, to experience the greenest and most peaceful Asturias.
- Avilés, Gijón and Oviedo, because the cities here also taste of calm.
- And, very close to home, Los Quebrantos Beach, the sort of place where the best plan is no plan at all.
Each day can have its own flavour:
A morning walk. A quiet meal. A gentle afternoon.
And in the end, the return to Las Mimosas, your little corner to rest.
Tips for savouring Asturias
Asturias changes with the light, the tides, and the spirit with which you look at it.
Therefore, we recommend leaving gaps in the itinerary.
It's those gaps that truly fill the journey.
Sometimes the best thing will be what you didn't plan for.
a cider house found by chance,
an unnamed beach,
A conversation with a local person.,
A sunset that stops you in your tracks without asking permission.
That's Asturias too.
And it's usually what's most remembered.
Back to Las Mimosas
When you return, you'll bring Asturias with you:
Sensations to feel and calmly discuss, memories that will surely accompany you with the best recollections.
Las Mimosas del Nalón is not just accommodation.
It is the place you return to after discovering, the refuge where days end slowly and holidays feel real.
Come to Asturias.
Walk its viewpoints.
Savours its towns.
Listen to her sea.
Breathe in their forests.
Rest at Las Mimosas del Nalón.
Feed your senses. Live Asturias. And return home.
