Escape without leaving Asturias
Your haven by the Nalón for disconnecting any time of year
Las Mimosas del Nalón, the perfect getaway for the Asturian public: close, accessible, pet-friendly and with its own soul.
Las Mimosas del Nalón is not just accommodation near La Junquera. Our estate is part of the natural environment of Bajo Nalón and is located next to «El Charco» of San Juan de la Arena, a protected wetland area used as a resting place for Atlantic migratory birds.
Here observation begins as soon as you arrive. No distractions, no rushing.
A landscape that changes with the tides… and with the birds
La Junquera, in San Esteban de Pravia, has become one of the most special natural areas in the Bajo Nalón for birdwatching and nature tourism. Among marshes, estuaries, riverside vegetation, and the Atlantic estuary, this unique environment offers refuge and rest to numerous migratory species that travel the Cantabrian coast each year.
It's not just a pretty enclave. It's a living ecosystem, changing with the seasons, with the tides, and with the cycles of migration. Every visit is different. Every sunrise, unrepeatable.
Very close to this privileged space you will find The Mimosas del Nalón, rural apartments designed for those seeking peace and quiet, authentic landscapes, and a real connection with Asturian nature.

Common birds of the Lower Nalón
At Las Mimosas del Nalón, we only share what we know from personal experience. The species mentioned are common in the area, but nature always surprises – and that's part of the experience.
Grey Heron and Common Egret
A regular sight on the riverbanks. Its elegant silhouette is one of the great visual attractions of the surroundings.
Great cormorant
Frequent at the estuary, where it feeds and rests in groups on the rocks and posts of the estuary.
Mallard and Waders
Sedentary ducks alongside plovers and passage waders, especially active during spring and autumn migration.
Much more than birdwatching
Those who come to Bajo Nalón looking for birds are usually also looking for another way of travelling. A more peaceful one. A more authentic one. More connected to the landscape and to oneself.

Rural accommodation with a soul where time stands still for us to breathe
- 99% Satisfied guests
On the outskirts of Las Arenas de San Juan there is a tourist complex called LAS MIMOSAS, with flats for different groups of people and a hostel.
I stayed in the flat nº5 for two people. It is very complete, comfortable and well kept, with wooden ceilings, staircase, windows and upper floor and lower floor tiles, very cosy.
If you want to visit Asturias having a nice place, clean, with all the facilities, near the sea, near the best dog beach in Spain and always with recommendations of places to visit or eat, this is a good place to go. Carlos and Ana will welcome you in their home even if you go with dog. 100% recommended. We will come back to visit them for sure.
