Asturias: wild nature, living traditions and unforgettable paths

Asturias captivates visitors with the power of its landscapes, the authenticity of its villages and the deep historical roots of its culture. On this journey we will discover some of its most emblematic places, combining hiking, heritage, local culture and gastronomy in a privileged natural environment.

We will walk through beautiful routes such as the Lakes of Covadonga, the Alba Route, the Bear Trail (Senda del Oso) and the beech forest of La Biescona in the Sierra del Sueve, enjoying mountains, forests, coastline and landscapes that showcase the natural diversity of Asturias.

We will also visit charming towns full of identity such as Cangas de Onís, Cudillero, Lastres, Tazones and Gijón, and learn about deeply rooted traditions such as mining and cider culture, both essential parts of Asturias' history and character.

This trip is designed to enjoy nature, share experiences with the group and discover at a relaxed pace one of the most distinctive regions of the Iberian Peninsula.
