Coastal hiking in green Asturias

Asturias is one of Spain's greenest corners – a region where dramatic limestone cliffs meet the Atlantic, small sandy beaches hide in sheltered coves and the landscape constantly shifts between coast, meadows and lush countryside. On this hiking trip you follow coastal paths and quiet inland roads from town to town, with accommodation in charming coastal towns and villages like Llanes, Nueva, Ribadesella and Colunga.
During the week you pass spectacular natural phenomena like Bufones de Pría – natural blowholes that spray water in rough weather – and the strange inland beach Gulpiyuri. At the same time you walk partly on Camino del Norte, the northern pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The trip offers generous hikes, plenty of swimming opportunities and evenings filled with cider, fish and rustic mountain stews in cozy fishing villages.
