Welcome to Asturias
Welcome to Asturias! Our local guide will be waiting for you at the airport to transfer you to Pola de Somiedo, in the heart of the natural park that will be the setting for our adventures the following days. Depending on the arrival time of your flight, we will be able to enjoy a horseback riding tour in the afternoon after checking in at our hotel. No time? Don't worry: we will be able to do it in the following days. In the evening, we will have our first contact with the local gastronomy during dinner, a moment that we will also take advantage of for the briefing of the next day.

Hiking & Bear Sighting
Today, we will get into one of the most beautiful valleys of the Natural Park of Somiedo: the Lake Valley. It is a long but straightforward hike, but it reaches a spectacular lake of glacial origin as a reward. In the afternoon, it will be time for one of the program's highlights: wildlife watching. In bear season (spring and late summer), we will likely be able to observe them with the help of binoculars or with the naked eye! from the observation points to which our specialized guides will take us.

A story at every step
Today we are going for a walk. We will start the day with a transfer to the area of the Saliencia Valleys, one of the most beautiful high mountain lakes in Spain. Then we will walk along the mythical "Camin Real": the ancient Roman road that connected Castilla with Asturias, a path full of history used centuries ago by Roman soldiers, merchants, and Saracens. Depending on our desire to walk, we can do the shorter route (10 Km) or, the longer one (20 Km). We will have the opportunity to enjoy high mountain landscapes dotted with ancient buildings where the "Vaqueiros de Alzada" used to live in summer. At the end of the path, a transfer will take us to Teverga, where we will have time to rest our legs in the selected hotel.

Cowboy (and wolf) territory
We continue our adventure in the Camín Real de la Mesa. On horseback? Walking? Both? Either way, we will walk on a trail off the beaten path. And this path was once one of the busiest roads in northern Spain...! We are in a rather wild territory, where wolves roam freely in numerous herds (to the despair of the ranchers), where bears make frequent incursions, and where mid-mountain landscapes, horses, and cows are the real protagonists. And if it is a clear day, maybe we can glimpse the Cantabrian Sea in the distance... our destination in a few days! Don't worry. There is no hurry. And in the evening, we will have time to recharge our batteries with a good dinner with local products and maybe a relaxing spa bath!

By the river and by the coast
Change of scenery. Today we paddle a section of one of the principal rivers of Asturias: the Nalón. It is a river of calm waters, which stands out for its soft and pastoral landscapes. So we will have time to have a picnic and -if time permits- even take a swim. Upon arrival, we will be rewarded in a typical Asturian inn, perfect for regaining strength before checking into our hotel. In the afternoon, we will enjoy a scenic walk along the "Ruta de Los Miradores," overlooking the rugged coast of the Cantabrian Sea.

Lets go surfing!
We did it! A few days ago, if you think about it, you were up in the high mountains hiking in bear territory, and suddenly we're at the beach. And it's surfing time! We have two options, depending on the weather, the state of the sea, and what you feel like doing: Option 1: ride the Pravia estuary on a Stand Up Paddleboard. A unique way to get to know the historical and industrial legacy of the area actively. Option 2: Have you tried surfing? We can receive an initiation class that we assure you will make you have fun with the waves on this beach. In both cases, we will have the opportunity to finish off the trip at sunset in one of Spain's most beautiful fishing villages. Maybe with a few bottles of cider?

Well, it's all coming to an end. From the hotel, it is a concise transfer to the airport. So you will indeed have time to have breakfast and pack your bags calmly :) We hope you enjoyed this trip very much through the heart of Asturias. Are you looking forward to more? We have several extensions in Asturias: Picos de Europa, gastronomic and cultural experiences... We are ready to continue with you!
