There are days that children remember for years.
And others that also stay forever in the memory of adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there's something magical about discovering the world together. Walking slowly, being surprised, asking impossible questions and feeling curious about everything again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And few adventures better mix nature, sea and excitement than a day discovering Asturias' Jurassic Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day starts slowly, as holidays should.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a leisurely breakfast at Las Mimosas del Nal\u00f3n, with the coffee still warm and the morning calm drifting in from the terrace, we set off towards one of those places capable of sparking the imagination of the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Griega Beach, in Colunga.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special place where the sea, time, and history meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroll among dinosaur footprints on La Griega Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La Playa de La Griega is not just a beautiful beach for a stroll along the Cantabrian Sea. Here, hidden among the rocks, are some of the largest sauropod dinosaur footprints in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leisurely stroll along the shore as the children look for dinosaur footprints makes for an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And perhaps that's the most beautiful thing about Asturias: turning something as simple as a walk into an adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover MUJA: the museum where dinosaurs come back to life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the walk, the adventure continues at the Museum of Jurassic Asturias, known as MUJA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated on the cliffs between Colunga and Lastres, the museum appears to be part of the landscape. Its building is shaped like a dinosaur footprint and houses one of the most spectacular palaeontological sites in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here everything is designed for family enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giant dinosaurs, fossils, recreations and interactive spaces that achieve something wonderful: making both children and adults look at the world with eyes of curiosity once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating by the sea in Lastres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a Jurassic morning, comes one of our favourite moments of the day: sitting down for a leisurely meal by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for that, Lastres never fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two perfect recommendations to complete the plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
