This 10-day trip takes you to all the highlights of Asturias! In Asturias, historic cities, picturesque fishermen’s villages, wild mountains, and a breathtaking coast are all relatively close to each other. This trip allows you to enjoy all of these!

During our Highlights of Asturias trip, you visit:

  • Gijon and Oviedo, the two largest cities of Asturias. Both cities are unique and have their own history and gastronomy. In Gijon, you get to know how the famous Asturian cider is made (and of course, how it tastes). In Oviedo, a local guide will show you around the Old Town, including its famous Cathedral.
  • National Park Picos de Europa. You visit two emblematic parts of Spain´s first National Park: the beautiful Lagos de Covadonga, and the thrilling Ruta del Cares.
  • Asturias` Wild Western Coast. During a ride on your e-bike, you find hidden beaches and high cliffs overlooking the Cantabrian Sea. Further, you visit the picturesque fishermen’s villages Cudillero and Luarca.

Trip Highlights:

  • Gijon
  • Oviedo
  • National Park Picos de Europa
  • Lagos de Covadonga
  • Ruta del Cares
  • Asturias´ West Coast
  • Fishermen´s villages Cudillero and Luarca

All our trips are fully customizable

This trip covers the most important highlights of Asturias. We can imagine, however, that you would like to make some changes to the itinerary. Would you like to stay longer? Do you prefer to stay in an apartment where you can prepare your own food? Would you like to take your dog with you? Or did you hear or read about a particular place that is not included in our itinerary, but that you definitely want to visit?

We can customize this trip for you so that it fully meets your specific needs and wishes!

Just leave a note in the enquiry form and tell us that you want to customize the trip, and we will come back to you!

Itinerary

You arrive in Asturias by train, plane or car. The first few nights of your trip you stay in a 19th century rural hotel just outside of Gijon. The small-scale accommodation with 11 rooms helps you to relax completely. Breakfast is served in the common room by the friendly owner, whose family has owned the mansion for generations.

Breakfast

A short car ride away lies a family-owned Llagar, a famous Asturian apple cider-making factory. The enthusiastic, English-speaking guide leads you around its facilities. At the end, you can of course taste the cider yourselves, accompanied by some typical Asturian cheese!

In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to explore Gijon. Gijon is a nice coastal town that you can easily explore on foot or by bike. Stroll through the old fishermen’s quarter Cimavilla, walk along its boulevard, or delve into its Celtic and Roman history.

 

Breakfast

An English-speaking, local guide will take you to discover the old center of Oviedo with its monumental buildings, theater, and churches. She will also take you into the Cathedral to tell you all about its architecture, history, and important role Oviedo plays on the route to Santiago de Compostela.

The rest of the day you can explore Oviedo further and visit its covered market full of fresh fish, Asturian cheeses, breads, and fruits, and the old town, or go shopping in the more modern neighborhood.

Breakfast

From Gijon, you drive in 1.5 hours along the Cantabrian Coast to National Park Picos de Europa. Along the way, you have the chance to stop at Asturias´ Jurassic Coast or visit typical Asturian villages. During the next few days, you stay in a small-scale Bed and Breakfast with 5 rooms in total. During breakfast, you overlook the impressive peaks of Spain´s first National Park.

 

Breakfast

The Lagos de Covadonga is one of the most visited places in Asturias, and not without a reason. Depending on the time of the year, you can drive from Covadonga up to the mountain lakes with your own car, or you take a bus. Once you are at the lakes, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery, go for a hike, or enjoy a typical Asturian meal.

 

Breakfast

It´s time for another breathtaking walk! You will enter the Ruta del Cares, a mountain hike along a gorge of hundreds of meters deep. Because of its length (12 km go and 12 km back) and steepness, hiking experience, proper gear, and no fear of heights are indispensable! There is also the possibility to only hike one way, and opt for a tour by 4*4 on the way back. 

Breakfast

In 2.5 hours you drive through the interior of Asturias to its rough west coast. You stay in a 4* hotel at walking distance from the nearest beach. The hotel has 8 rooms, either with views to the mountainous hinterland, or towards the coast. Breakfast is served on the cozy porch.  

Breakfast

Your modern and comfortable e-bike gives you the opportunity to explore hidden beaches and wild cliffs along Asturias´western coast at your own pace.

Breakfast

In the vicinity of your accommodation, you find multiple beaches where you can relax or go for a refreshing dive in the Cantabrian Sea. There are also some great walking routes along the coast, where you find various viewpoints overlooking the high cliffs and crystal-clear water. 

Breakfast

Today, it´s time to say goodbye to beautiful Asturias. Or, you´re welcome to extend your visit and let us customize your trip further!

  1. Really good sampler of Asturias in 1 week
    By Remco
    from The Netherlands
    July 15, 2024
    We had a very nice holiday, with many different activities and many different environments, and a real good 'sampler' of Asturias in 1 week. We saw a nice mix of Asturias on our holiday, and it certainly gave us the feeling to see if we would like to come back again later. The hotels you selected were all very nice (in all their variety), and of excellent value for money. Personally, the highlight for me was the last hotel in Gijon, what a wonderfully relaxing place it was!
