A perfect day in Asturias starts like this…
Some trips are remembered for the places they take you to. Others, for how they made you feel. Asturias has that ability to turn an ordinary day into one of those days you’ll remember for months to come. No rushing. No impossible schedules. Just letting yourself be carried along by the scenery, conversations and simple moments that end up being the most important. And if you were to ask us what a perfect day in Asturias would be like for us, it would probably be something like this. A leisurely breakfast at Las Mimosas del Nalón The day begins slowly. Just as a proper holiday should. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sound of birdsong, the calm of the morning and that feeling of not having to watch the clock. On the terrace, as the sun begins to peek through the trees, you realise that this is precisely why you’ve come here: to slow down. Because you don’t discover Asturias by rushing. You feel Asturias. The Senda de los Miradores: two ways to experience it After breakfast, it’s time to set off on the adventure. One of our favourite plans is to walk the famous Senda de los Miradores, a place where every bend seems to force you to stop and take in the scenery a little longer. Here are two options, depending on how keen you are on climbing stairs that day 😉 VIEW THE FULL ROUTE/TRAIL FROM HERE Plan A: start from the bottom and climb up to the chapel The perfect option for those who enjoy walking slowly, breathing in the Cantabrian air and feeling the landscape gradually open up with every step. The climb is well worth it: incredible views, silence and that feeling of having reached a special place. Plan B: park directly at the Mirador del Espíritu Santo Because holidays are also about listening to your body. If you prefer a more relaxed plan, you can head straight to the viewpoint and still enjoy spectacular views without too much walking. This is another way to enjoy Asturias: without pressure and without rushing. Dining by the sea at Casa Miguel After a morning spent on trails and at viewpoints, it’s time to sit down to a meal. And few places appeal to us as much as Casa Miguel, on La Concha beach in Artedo. Dining here is part of the experience: the sound of the sea nearby, the relaxed atmosphere and a cuisine that tastes exactly as you’d expect when visiting Asturias. Do bear in mind: it’s essential to book in advance via their website or by calling directly, especially in high season. Telephone: +34 664618012 WEB An afternoon stroll between Cudillero, Cabo Vidio and Playa del Silencio The afternoon continues with a discovery of some of those places that look like they’ve been plucked from a postcard. First, a stroll through Cudillero. Lose yourself in its streets, climb up and down stairs, discover hidden viewpoints and simply stop to watch the harbour. Afterwards, the route can continue towards Cabo Vidio, where the sea crashes against the cliffs with a force impossible to capture in photos. And if there’s still daylight and a desire to keep exploring, Playa del Silencio is always worth a stop. There are places that need no words to stay with you. This is one of them. Find out more about the adventure in Cudillero Head home and end the day sharing memories And then comes one of our favourite moments. Returning to Las Mimosas del Nalón after a day full of incredible places, having a relaxing shower and heading out for dinner to chat about all the day’s adventures. To round off the day, a recommendation that never fails: the Las Malvinas restaurant. Because in the end, the best trips aren’t the ones packed with activities. They’re the ones that fill you up inside. And perhaps that’s why so many guests tell us the same thing after spending a few days here: “Now I understand what it means to discover Asturias at a leisurely pace.”
III Eco SUP Bajo Nalón Trophy 2026: when sport, territory, and people row in the same direction
There are places that defy explanation. You simply feel them. Places where the water sets the rhythm of the days, where the dawn smells of saltpetre and wet grass, and where sport ceases to be merely a competition and becomes a way of connecting with the landscape, with people, and with oneself. That is what will happen once again this May in San Juan de la Arena with the 3rd Eco SUP Bajo Nalón Trophy 2026. And for us at Las Mimosas del Nalón, being the official accommodation for participants and their families once again means so much more than just providing a place to sleep. It means being part of something we feel deeply is our own: a way of experiencing Asturias that nourishes the senses. An event that is already close to the heart of the Lower Nalón On 23 and 24 May, the Nalón will once again be filled with boards, paddles, families, nerves, laughter and excitement. The championship will bring together sprint, technical race, long-distance and popular cross-country events in one of the most special landscapes on the Asturian coast: the mouth of the Nalón and the area around San Juan de la Arena. The competition isn’t just experienced in the water: it happens at breakfast before the race; in the children playing whilst they wait for the start; in the parents cheering from the harbour.In those discovering Asturias for the first time and leaving wanting to return. Because events like Eco SUP generate something very valuable for the region: life. Life for the town. Life for the local hospitality industry. Life for businesses that believe in sustainable, active and people-centred tourism. Feed the senses: our approach to sports tourism At Las Mimosas del Nalón, we have always maintained that travelling is not just about visiting a place. It is about experiencing it. That is why our philosophy of “Nourish the Senses” connects so naturally with an event like the Eco SUP Bajo Nalón. Here, sport blends with nature, gastronomy, relaxation and the leisurely discovery of Asturias. After a day of competition, our guests find something they often don’t expect: silence, sweeping views of the valley, terraces where they can relax at sunset, and apartments designed for spending time with the family. Our rural apartments for 4–6 people are particularly comfortable for families of athletes and groups seeking space, a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor areas and peace and quiet, just a few minutes from the port of San Juan de la Arena. We also have apartments for couples and hostel options for teams or travellers looking for a more flexible and economical stay. Because we understand what those who travel for sport need: to rest well, feel comfortable and have space to unwind. Much more than just accommodation: community One of the most special aspects of this championship is the collaboration between people and projects that believe in the region. Eco SUP wouldn’t be the same without the support of clubs, volunteers, organisers and partners who have been committed for years to a model of sport linked to nature and respect for the environment. And here we’d particularly like to highlight projects such as MarOcean and Rompiente Norte, which help to continue building an active community centred on the sea, surfing, paddleboarding and environmental education. Rompiente Norte, moreover, has become one of those spaces that sees sport as a shared experience: the sea, camaraderie, learning and a connection with Asturias. When local businesses collaborate rather than compete, the destination thrives. And it shows. San Juan de la Arena: the great silent host Those who visit San Juan de la Arena once usually come back. Soto del Barco Perhaps it is the harbour. Perhaps it is the River Nalón flowing into the Cantabrian Sea. Perhaps it is the terraces bustling with life after the heats. Because another of the event’s main attractions will, once again, be the local hospitality sector. The town’s bars, restaurants and businesses are part of the experience for those who visit us. From early breakfasts before the competition to meals by the sea after the prize-giving ceremony, the championship is also an opportunity to discover the cuisine and the warmth of an authentic fishing village. Here, people still greet one another in the street.Here, time still seems to pass a little more slowly. And that, today, is worth a great deal. A perfect destination for sporty families all year round Although May is a date marked on the calendar, the reality is that the Lower Nalón has become an ideal destination for families and sports enthusiasts all year round. Surfing. SUP. Hiking. Cycling. Kayaking. Trail running. Active getaways in the heart of nature. More and more travellers are looking for places where they can combine sport, relaxation and authentic experiences. And Asturias, especially this area of the Lower Nalón, has a huge capacity to offer precisely that. At Las Mimosas del Nalón, we want to continue being that meeting point for those who travel driven by a passion for sport, nature and the simple life. A place to rest after a paddle. Where you can have a leisurely breakfast.Where children have space to run. Where families feel at home. Because in the end, the competition lasts a few hours. But the memories of the trip last much longer. See you at the 3rd Eco SUP Bajo Nalón Trophy 2026 This May we will once again look out over the river filled with boards and people from far and wide. And we will feel proud once more. Pride in our surroundings. Pride in collaborating with those who promote sport and the local community. Pride in continuing to showcase an authentic, active and welcoming Asturias. Thank you to Eco SUP, the organisers, partners, clubs, local hospitality businesses and athletes for continuing to make this event grow year after year. We look forward to seeing you here. To paddle. To relax. To discover Asturias. And, above all, to nourish the senses.
Cudillero, Cape Vidio and Silencio Beach: the Asturias that looks out to sea
There are days in Asturias that begin with the scent of coffee and end with salt on your skin. Days when the sea becomes your travelling companion and every bend in the road seems to open a new window onto the Cantabrian Sea. At Las Mimosas del Nalón, we invite you to experience Asturias at a leisurely pace: choose an area, savour it at your own pace, and then return to rest as if you were coming home. Today we’re heading to one of the most exciting routes on the west coast: Cudillero, Cabo Vidio and Playa del Silencio. A perfect plan for looking, breathing, listening… and feeding the senses. Plan for the day Morning: a stroll through Cudillero. If you’re visiting in high season, you should do this first thing in the morning or leave it until late afternoon. Midday: a seafood lunch or a snack with a view.Afternoon: Cabo Vidio and Playa del Silencio. Two of our favourite spots at any time of year. The sunset is breathtaking. End of the day: return to Las Mimosas to rest. Cudillero: a colourful amphitheatre facing the Cantabrian Sea. You don’t just visit Cudillero. It’s a place to discover. First, the harbour comes into view. Then, the colourful houses climbing up the hillside as if they all wanted to peer out at the sea. Next come the stairways, the viewpoints, the narrow streets and that feeling of being inside a village that looks as if it were hand-painted. In the harbour, we recommend Deleo, ideal for breakfast and a mid-morning break. Tell them we sent you. It is one of the prettiest fishing villages in Asturias and one of those places where it’s best to lose yourself without watching the clock. Climb up to a viewpoint, head down to the square, listen to the seagulls, smell the aromas from the harbour and let the seaside atmosphere do the rest. Cudillero delights the eye with its colours, the ear with the sound of the harbour and the palate with a cuisine that tastes of the sea. What to see in Cudillero Stroll through the Plaza de la Marina, climb up to one of its viewpoints, wander its narrow streets and head down to the harbour. The best thing about Cudillero isn’t just seeing it: it’s letting yourself be enveloped by its way of life. Cabo Vidio: the lighthouse, the wind and the vastness After Cudillero, the landscape opens up. At Cabo Vidio, the Bay of Biscay appears vast. The lighthouse, the cliffs and the wind create a powerful, unspoilt, almost cinematic scene. You’ll enjoy 360° of spectacular views. It’s a place to walk slowly, gaze at the horizon and feel that sense of freedom unique to open landscapes. Here, the sea isn’t just in the background. Here, the sea takes up everything. Playa del Silencio: where the sea speaks softly Playa del Silencio is one of Asturias’ natural gems. Its name says it all. It’s a beach to stroll down to calmly, listen to the waves and spend a while in silence. You don’t need to do much else. The cliffs, the boulders and the deep blue of the water create a scene that stirs the soul. It is a wild, natural and serene beach. Perfect for those seeking a special place, the sort you never forget. After a day like that, returning to Las Mimosas del Nalón feels like coming home. You arrive with the sound of the sea inside you, your camera full of landscapes and that sense of peace that only Asturias can offer. Here, make yourself a drink and enjoy our viewing point with some good conversation. Nourish your senses. Discover the coast. Relax at Las Mimosas.
Feed your senses. Experience Asturias at your own pace.

San Juan de la Arena and the Bajo Nalón: where Asturias nourishes you from within
There are journeys that begin when you pack your suitcase, and others, the best ones, when you finally slow down. In San Juan de la Arena, where the river Nalón meets the Cantabrian Sea, Asturias speaks to you in a different way. Here there is no hurry or noise. Only the smell of saltpetre, the green that calms your gaze, the song of the birds, the breeze that comes through the window and that silence that does not weigh you down: it accompanies you. In the heart of the Bajo Nalón, travelling is not running, it is feeling again. And that is what we propose at Las Mimosas del Nalón: a stay to reconnect with the essential. Our motto, Nourish the Senses, is not just a nice phrase. It is a way of understanding Asturias, rest and hospitality. Feed the Sight San Juan de la Arena is pure landscape. The estuary, the port, the houses overlooking the water, the open horizon of Los Quebrantos Beach, the Playón de Bayas, the cliffs and the viewpoints of the Bajo Nalón form a postcard that changes with every daylight. From Las Mimosas you can look out over all this: stroll through San Esteban de Pravia, discover the Indian elegance of Somao, lose yourself in Pravia and its history, walk along Muros de Nalón or simply watch how the Nalón opens up to the sea. You don't just come to see Asturias, you come to let Asturias look at you from the inside. Feed the ear Here, the sound also calms down. The murmur of the river, the wind through the trees, the seagulls in the port, the waves breaking in Los Quebrantos, the spark of the cider falling into the glass. At Las Mimosas we believe that the real luxury lies in listening to less noise and more life. Less notifications. more laughter. less agenda. more presence. Because there are silences that take care. The Bajo Nalón smells of sea and forest. Eucalyptus, wet grass, fresh rain, freshly baked bread, Asturian cuisine and a fishing village. San Juan de la Arena preserves its essence without make-up: its fishing tradition, its port, its canning history and its link with the elver. Here, every aroma brings you back to the present and reminds you that you are right where you need to be. Feed your taste buds In Asturias, happiness is also served at the table. Fish of the day, seafood from the Bay of Biscay, local cheeses, natural cider, cuisine without artifice... In our experiences, taste takes centre stage. A romantic getaway with local products, a quiet dinner at sunset, a breakfast without looking at the clock, a nearby recommendation to discover restaurants, wineries and places where you can eat as you eat in Asturias: with love and without haste. Eating here means savouring the place, toasting, tasting, sharing and remembering. Nourish your sense of touch Rest can also be touched. In soft sheets after a day at the beach.in a blanket when the evening falls.in the warm wood of the accommodation.in the sand under your feet.in the fresh grass.in the salt that remains on your skin after the sea. Las Mimosas del Nalón is not only an accommodation, it is a refuge. Your home in Asturias. The point from which to explore the Bajo Nalón and to return to with a full heart. Feed your instinct There is a sixth sense that is activated when you are where you should be. You notice it when you arrive: you breathe differently, your body relaxes, time stops ticking. An improvised route, a walk along the estuary, a surfing lesson in Los Quebrantos, a paddle surfing experience in the Nalón, a horseback riding route along the Asturian coast, a quiet dinner with your family and friends. Everything flows without having to force it. Because disconnecting is not about running away from the world, it is about turning yourself back on. The Bajo Nalón: the Asturias that you feel The Bajo Nalón is not visited, it is lived. San Juan de la Arena provides a seafaring soul, San Esteban de Pravia, port memory, Somao, indian beauty. A stroll through its streets is an experience in itself. We recommend a coffee on the terrace of the IndianoPravia, history. King Silo presides over the main squareMuros de Nalón, viewpointsAnd the estuary, that thread of water that unites everything. Every experience here makes sense because it is born from the place. We are not looking to fill your days with plans, but to help you find your own rhythm: quieter, more active, more romantic, more familiar or wilder. We all come looking for something similar: to feel a little better. Come to nourish your senses in Asturias Come to look at the green and the sea until your eyes rest, to listen to the river and the Cantabrian Sea until the noise dies down, to smell the saltpetre, the eucalyptus and the traditional cuisine, to taste the cider, the cheeses, the fish and the shared time, to touch the sand, the wood, the grass and the calm, to awaken that instinct that tells you: “this is where it used to be”. Las Mimosas del Nalón awaits you between the river and the sea, in a corner of Asturias where life turns down the volume and everything makes sense again. Don't just come to sleep, don't just come to sightsee, don't just come to disconnect, come to reconnect with you, come to reconnect with yourself. Come to reconnect with yourself, come to live the Bajo Nalón, come to Las Mimosas del Nalón. Feed the Senses. Your home in Asturias. We leave you with the following experiences: Wild Asturias: Surfing and hiking. More information Nalón Adventur, Paddle surfing and the Mirador trail.

A day in Asturias between gardens, sea and sunsets: from Las Mimosas del Nalón to Luarca and La Regalina
There are days that begin with the aroma of coffee and end with the soft sound of a shared dinner. Days in which Asturias is not visited in a hurry, but is felt little by little: in the vibrant green of a garden, in the deep blue of the Cantabrian Sea, at a table by the port, on a road that invites you to improvise. From Las Mimosas del Nalón, we propose a new getaway to nourish the senses: a route towards the west of Asturias with a stop in the Forest-Garden of La Fonte Baxa, a walk and lunch in Luarca, a visit to the lighthouse of San Agustín, the option of discovering Puerto de Vega, a return trip via the viewpoint of La Regalina and a final dinner in Las Malvinas, in San Juan de la Arena. A plan to enjoy without rushing. To leave room for astonishment. To remember that, many times, the best part of a trip happens when it was not planned. Waking up in Las Mimosas del Nalón: the prelude to an unforgettable day The day begins at home. Because that is what Las Mimosas del Nalón is: your home in Asturias. Before leaving, we suggest you start with a good breakfast. Without looking too much at the clock. With the smell of freshly brewed coffee that fills the room, the crusty bread on the table and that calm that only appears when you know that the day is promising. The soft light of the Asturian morning filters through the window, inviting you to savour every moment. From San Juan de la Arena, our accommodation is the perfect place to move around Asturias: near the sea, next to the river Nalón, surrounded by nature and with that feeling of refuge that you want to find on your return. Today the route looks towards the west. Towards gardens overlooking the sea, dazzling white villages, lighthouses guarding infinite horizons, maritime ports that smell of salt and viewpoints where the Bay of Biscay seems to embrace the sky. First stop: La Fonte Baxa Forest-Garden, an oasis for the soul Our first recommendation is one of those places that surprise even those who think they know Asturias: the La Fonte Baxa Forest-Garden, in Luarca. Here nature is not contemplated from the outside. You walk through it. You breathe deeply, feeling the pure, fresh air. You can hear the wind rustling through the leaves and the birds singing. The Fonte Baxa is a garden full of winding paths, exotic and native plant species, ornamental corners that invite introspection, benches strategically placed for contemplation and viewpoints that offer spectacular views of the sea. It is a place to walk slowly, to let the intense green of the vegetation have its effect on the spirit and to feel how the body slows down, connecting with the earth. It is a perfect walk to start the day with your senses awake: the smell of damp earth and the blooming of camellias and rhododendrons, the soft touch of the leaves, the constant rustle of the trees, the light filtering through the branches creating shadows and, in the background, the immense and calming presence of the sea. Our advice: check timetables before you go and allow plenty of time to wander around unhurriedly. This is not a place to cross off a list. It is a place to lose yourself a little and let yourself be enveloped by its magic. Luarca: a stroll through the Villa Blanca, where the sea whispers stories After the garden, it is time to visit Luarca, one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Asturias. White, elegant, luminous. Luarca opens up to the sea with its vibrant port, its staggered houses that seem to defy gravity, its narrow streets impregnated with a seafaring flavour and that air of a quiet village that invites you to stroll aimlessly. The white of its facades, which gives it the nickname of «Villa Blanca», shines under the Asturian sun, creating a hypnotic contrast with the blue of the sky and the green of the cliffs. You can approach the port and watch the boats come and go, feel the sea breeze on your face, walk along the cobbled streets, stop on a terrace to enjoy the local life or just sit and watch the slow movement of the day. Luarca is known as the White Village of the Costa Verde, and its intimate relationship with the sea, its lively port and its strategic viewpoints are an essential part of its undeniable charm. Here it is worth remembering a simple rule: don't want to see everything. Look less, feel more. Let the atmosphere envelop you, let the sounds of the harbour rock you and let the scent of the sea permeate you. Lunch at El Ancla, a feast for the palate facing the Bay of Biscay For lunch, our recommendation is El Ancla de Luarca, located on the quay, with privileged views of the sea and a gastronomic proposal based on fresh produce and traditional Asturian cuisine. The sound of the seagulls and the gentle swaying of the boats will accompany your culinary experience. After the walk, sitting near the port is almost a necessity. The body asks for authentic flavour, flowing conversation, calm and the unmistakable backdrop of the sea. Freshly caught fish, carefully prepared seasonal dishes, a good table and that harbour atmosphere that makes the meal an unforgettable part of the journey. Don't be in a hurry to finish. The after-dinner conversation, with the taste of coffee and quiet conversation, is also an essential part of the route. Visit to the San Agustín lighthouse: the infinite gaze of the guardian of the sea After lunch, we continue on to the San Agustín lighthouse in Ortiguera. There is something special about lighthouses. Perhaps because they always look to the horizon, defying the immensity. Perhaps because they seem to remind us that, even on the foggiest of days, there are luminous signs to guide us. The San Agustín lighthouse rises majestically over the western coast of Asturias, a white spot between the intense green of the meadows and the changing blue of the sea. It is an ideal stop to breathe in the pure, salty air,
A day in Asturias to feed the senses: from Las Mimosas del Nalón to Cudillero, Playa del Silencio, and Cabo Vidio
There are days that are not measured in hours. They are measured in aromas, in landscapes, in unhurried after-dinner conversations, in the saltpetre on your skin and in that Asturian feeling of being exactly where you wanted to be. From Las Mimosas del Nalón, in San Juan de la Arena, we propose a one-day getaway to experience Asturias calmly. Without rushing. Without wanting to see everything. Leaving space to stop, look, breathe... and improvise. Because Asturias is not conquered with a list. Asturias can be savoured. Waking up slowly in Las Mimosas del Nalón The day begins as beautiful days should begin: without emotional alarm. You open the window and the northern air comes in. That clean air that smells of green, of river, of the nearby sea. At Las Mimosas del Nalón, breakfast is not only the first moment of the day: it is an invitation to slow down. Freshly baked bread, hot coffee, quiet conversation and that soft light of Asturias that seems to ask you one simple thing: don't be in a hurry. Here begins our personal proposal to enjoy Asturias in one day. A plan for couples, families, friends or travellers who really want to feel the north. First stop: Cudillero, the village that seems to be painted on the sea After breakfast, we set off for Cudillero, one of those fishing villages that you will never forget. From the viewpoint of La Garita, Cudillero opens up before our eyes like an amphitheatre of colours. Its brightly coloured houses climb up the hillside as if they all wanted to look out over the port, creating a visual cascade that contrasts with the deep blue of the Bay of Biscay. As you walk down its narrow cobbled streets, the air is filled with an unmistakable mixture: the smell of saltpetre, old wood and fresh fish just arrived in port. We recommend parking in the harbour to make the return trip a little easier. The narrow streets invite you to get lost. At every corner, the sound of an old door, the murmur of the waves or the lively voices on the terraces of the Plaza de la Marina envelop you. And the viewpoints offer that postcard that every traveller will remember: the Bay of Biscay in the background and the soul of the town pulsing in every corner. Our recommendation: don't arrive with a closed plan. Go for a walk. Go up to a viewpoint and feel the breeze on your face. Go down to the port. Go into its little shops. Look without buying anything... or buy something to remind you of this day when you return home. Shops and crafts in Cudillero To take home a souvenir with a soul, we recommend you look for local crafts, seafaring details, ceramics, jewellery or decoration inspired by Asturias. An interesting stop is Cerámica Negra de Cudillero - Alfar del Zarru, linked to the tradition of Asturian black clay. You can also visit gift and craft shops such as Arte y Mar, in Plaza de San Pedro, which specialises in typical Asturian articles, souvenirs and crafts. One of the most complete shops is Julieta and Arte y Mar. And remember: the best souvenir is not always an object. Sometimes it is a conversation, an unposed photo or the sound of the seagulls over the port. Eating in front of the sea at Casa Miguel, La Concha de Artedo beach After Cudillero, the body begins to ask for a table, a tablecloth and the sea. Our suggestion is to eat at Casa Miguel, next to La Concha de Artedo beach, in Lamuño, Cudillero. A perfect place to extend the morning with a taste of the Asturian coast. Best to book, from their website or by calling +34 664618012. Here the plan is simple: sit down, look at the sea and let the food do its part. Fish, rice dishes, Cantabrian products, quiet after-dinner conversation and the pleasure of eating without looking at the clock. A stroll along the beach in peace and quiet. Because this is what travelling is also about: bread on the table, the sound of the waves nearby, a glass raised and the certainty that there is no need to add much more. Afternoon of silence on the Playa del Silencio After lunch, we continue towards one of the most exciting landscapes of the Asturian coast: the Playa del Silencio. Its name says it all. It is not a beach to arrive, take a photo and leave. It is a place to stay still. As you walk down the path, the immensity of the cliffs that protect it makes you feel small, but at the same time free. There is no sand here, only pebbles, and the sound of the sea caressing the rocks creates a natural symphony, relaxing and comforting. The water, of a crystalline emerald colour, contrasts with the rugged rock and wild vegetation. It is an almost virgin spot where the wind whispers through the crevices and the sea imposes its rhythm. To look at the cliffs. To feel that mixture of wild beauty and deep peace that only Asturias knows how to give. Go down calmly if the conditions allow it. Wear comfortable shoes. And, above all, let the landscape do the talking. If the tide is high, it is worth seeing it from the viewpoint alone. There are places to visit. Playa del Silencio can be heard. Sunset at Cabo Vidio As the day begins to end, one of the most special moments of this route arrives: the sunset at Cabo Vidio. Situated on the edge of cliffs almost 100 metres high, the Cabo Vidio lighthouse is a natural balcony overlooking infinity. The sky turns golden, tinging the seascape with orange and reddish tones that are reflected in the waves. The sea changes colour. The cliffs seem to light up from within. The wind blows strongly, bringing with it the pure scent of the ocean, and the roar of the Bay of Biscay crashing against the rock shakes you and fills you with energy. And suddenly you understand why there are places that need no explanation. Cabo Vidio is the perfect place to end the day calmly, sitting in
Wild Asturias: a plan for couples and families who want to truly feel the north
Bail and Brunch – Sunday 26th April with Jun
At Las Mimosas del Nalón (San Juan de la Arena, Asturias) we are celebrating a special astro-tourism weekend: a plan to learn, get excited and experience the Universe with a professional guide, without technicalities and with the beauty of Asturias as a backdrop.
