The sound of the water. The mist over the estuary. The silent flight of migratory birds seeking rest by the Nal\u00f3n. At Las Mimosas del Nal\u00f3n, we are not just close to nature. We are part of it. Our estate, situated in San Juan de la Arena, enjoys a privileged setting within one of the most valuable ecosystems on the Asturian coast. Right in front of the landscape that surrounds us lies \u201cEl Charco\u201d, a natural wetland and protected area used as a resting place by numerous migratory birds during their Atlantic journeys. This makes Las Mimosas del Nal\u00f3n a unique destination for those seeking nature tourism and birdwatching in Asturias. Here, you don\u2019t need to travel miles to start spotting birds. The experience begins right at your accommodation. From our outdoor areas, gardens and apartments, it is common to watch birds associated with the mouth of the Nal\u00f3n, the marshes and nearby wetlands. The combination of estuary, coastline, wet meadows and vegetation makes this area a particularly attractive spot for both resident and migratory species. Nearby are also some of the most interesting spots in the Lower Nal\u00f3n for birdwatching: \u2022 La Junquera de San Esteban\u2022 The new viewpoint and bird observatory\u2022 The mouth of the Nal\u00f3n\u2022 El Play\u00f3n de Bayas\u2022 Marshes and intertidal zones\u2022 The Viewpoint Trail This environment allows you to observe species such as herons, cormorants, gulls, waders, ducks, terns and small migratory birds throughout the year, as they use the Cantabrian coast as a natural corridor. But Las Mimosas del Nal\u00f3n offers something even more important for many birdwatching travellers: tranquillity. Because those who travel in search of birds also seek silence, rest and time. Our rural apartments are designed with this in mind. Cosy, comfortable spaces surrounded by nature where you can relax after a day of birdwatching, photography or exploring the Asturian coastline. The best months to enjoy this experience are October and February. Here, mornings begin slowly. With a cup of coffee overlooking the Nal\u00f3n. With binoculars at the ready. With the feeling of being in a place that is still authentic. As well as its strategic location for birdwatching tourism, Las Mimosas del Nal\u00f3n is also an excellent starting point for exploring the heart of Asturias, combining birdwatching, beaches, gastronomy and nature in a single trip. Because sometimes true luxury isn\u2019t about doing more things. It\u2019s about finding a place where nature still sets the pace.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,20,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asturias","category-experiencias","category-planes-en-asturias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3565"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3620,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3565\/revisions\/3620"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasmimosasdelnalon.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
