🌊 Asturias water quality
Asturias enjoys some of Spain's best water quality. According to official reports, 99.5% of Spanish tap water meets international safety standards, and Asturias ranks among the regions with "slightly hard" water - meaning excellent taste and mineral content. Spanish consumer organisation OCU confirms that Asturias has better water quality than many major Spanish cities, with naturally soft water that tastes fresh and clean.
🥾 Perfect for day walks
Fill your water bottles at Casona Azul Llue before heading out for hiking adventures. Our fresh, tested water is ideal for day trips, and you'll save money while staying properly hydrated on Asturian trails.
⛰️ Mountain spring discoveries
While hiking in Asturias, you'll find natural springs and mountain streams that have been trusted water sources for centuries. Many hiking areas feature mountain springs where you can safely refill bottles, especially at higher elevations where water flows directly from rock springs.
Safe mountain water guidelines:
Look for fast-flowing streams from high mountain sources
Springs emerging directly from rock are typically safest
Avoid water below farms or villages where contamination is possible
Higher altitude sources generally offer the purest water
"After years of exploring Asturian mountains, we've learned that spring water from rock sources above 800 meters is typically excellent. Always check upstream for any potential contamination sources, and when in doubt, stick to the tested water from your casa."
🌿 Sustainable choice
Using tap water at Casona Azul Llue supports sustainable tourism by reducing plastic bottle waste. Spain's strict EU water quality regulations ensure that tap water often exceeds the quality standards of bottled water, making it both an environmentally conscious and economically smart choice.
🚨 When to be cautious
While Asturian water is generally excellent, use your judgment with:
Unknown rural wells (stick to our tested supply)
Smaller villages without modern treatment systems
Stagnant pools during hiking (choose flowing sources)
Water below industrial areas (rare in rural Asturias)
