🍽️ FLAVOUR TRAILS
Our personal dining recommendations across Asturias - from traditional sidrerías where three generations still pour cider the ancient way to that tiny restaurant in a converted barn that locals have kept secret for decades. These aren't tourist traps; they're the places we actually book for our own celebrations and take visiting friends. Scroll below to see all our food discoveries
Scroll below to see all our food discoveries, with our latest finds at the top. Every place here remains a current recommendation - we keep this list updated and remove anywhere that no longer meets our standards.
🌿 WILD ASTURIAS
The trails, beaches, and natural hideaways that made us fall in love with this region. These are our weekend escapes - the 6km river walk with ancient mill wheels, the clifftop path where we've never seen another tourist, the swimming cove that locals still consider 'their' beach. Perfect for when you want to feel like you've discovered the real Asturias.
Keep Scrolling to see all our nature recommendations, newest adventures first - but our long-standing favourite trails and secret spots further down are just as spectacular.
🦕 FAMILY EXPLORERS
Activities we've tested with real families across all ages - from toddler-safe beach explorations to adventure activities that thrill teenagers, plus museums, cultural sites, and opportunities for young ones to connect with rewilding projects and conservation efforts. We focus on experiences that actually engage multiple generations while fostering a love of nature and environmental awareness. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, indoor museums, cultural activities, or rainy-day discoveries, these create those travel memories families talk about for years.
Explore all our family-tested recommendations below, newest discoveries first. Every activity here remains a current favorite with visiting families.
🏛️ SOUL OF THE NORTH
The cultural experiences that reveal why Asturias feels different from anywhere else in Spain. Discover Celtic archaeological sites and traditional music that echo through centuries, explore churches with stories older than most European countries, join village festivals where traditions still matter more than tourism. These experiences connect you to something authentic. Explore all our cultural discoveries below, with latest finds first - but the timeless experiences further down the list are equally powerful.
