Asturias is a small paradise that is very difficult not to succumb to. A proud land that showcases its beauty in each and every one of its landscapes and corners. If you haven’t yet surrendered to the charms of this wonderful land and want to know why you should… we’ll tell you below!
1. A Breathtaking Coastline
Long sandy beaches, small coves that harbor unimaginable life in their depths, or imposing cliffs like those of the Bufones de Pría are some of the elements that make up the spectacular Asturian coast. A panoramic view that can be contemplated aboard our jet skis, one of the most attractive options to discover our coast. Indeed, those who visit Asturias are amazed by how the Cantabrian Sea has shaped such a precious treasure as the Asturian coastline.
2. High Mountains That Serve as Viewpoints
Asturias is sea, but it’s also mountains. And that’s another reason that makes the tierrina such a special place. Because its hills, the predominant green color in the environment, and all the corners hidden in its mountains compose an idyllic scene that’s worth contemplating and enjoying, offering us infinite possibilities for adventure.
3. Flowing and Fun Rivers
What would Asturias be without its rivers! Those that provide us with everything necessary to enjoy long days of adventure. The Nalón, the Narcea, or the Deva are just a few examples. Although the Sella will always have an important place in our hearts as it allows us to enjoy one of the most special experiences you can have here: the Sella River descent by canoe.
4. A Delicious Gastronomy
Asturias is synonymous with good cuisine, and to make the most of its natural environment, it’s necessary to fuel up with delicious food. Luckily for our visitors, the sea and land offer delicious products that are combined around the table to offer a rich gastronomic experience.
5. Multitude of Charming Villages
Small charming villages, beautiful seaside towns, or historic cities that hide picturesque old quarters inside… In short, Asturian urban centers have a special charm that captivates all who visit us. Tazones, Llanes, or Cangas de Onís are just some of the Asturian localities that have a more special beauty, if possible.
6. Numerous Festivals
To think of Asturias is, in a way, to think of a lively and relaxed atmosphere. Because, of course, the festivals constitute another reason that places the Asturian principality as the object of a great number of visits, especially during the summer season.
The Sella River descent by canoe holds a special place in our hearts, but it’s a space shared with the International Descent of the Sella and the Fiesta de Les Piragües, a festive-sporting canoe event declared as a festival of International Tourist Interest that we enjoy year after year.
7. The Best Place to Enjoy Adventure Activities
We can’t deny that the spectacular natural environment of our tierrina lends itself to the enjoyment of adventure activities. Asturias becomes the perfect setting to enjoy buggy or quad tours, slide down natural slides while canyoning, or go caving and discover the secrets hidden inside our paradise.
8. The Weather
Hated by some, loved by others, the reality is that Asturias wouldn’t be the same without its orbayu, its cool summer temperatures, and its abundant rainfall. Factors that, at the same time, contribute to creating a beautiful panorama of the entire Asturian landscape that displays an intense green color throughout the year.
9. The Refreshing Cider!
The cider culture of the Principality of Asturias can be felt in every corner. The apple orchards, cider mills, and cider houses are part of our landscape. Enjoying a refreshing cider while tasting typical food is another reason that encourages visitors to our paradise.
10. Everything is Close By
Less than 500 kilometers separate the eastern border from the western one, which means we can travel the entire Asturian coastline in less than two and a half hours. The small size of the region is a huge advantage, as you can go from the Picos de Europa mountains to the beach in much less time than you imagine.
Asturias is an inexhaustible source of experiences for all the senses. Therefore, at Cangas Aventura, we invite you to enjoy (a little more) our land thanks to our adventure activities, through which you will discover a different way to enjoy this small earthly paradise.
