Eastern Asturias
Thanks to its location, you can easily
access the eastern area of Asturias from La Casona: Llanes,
Picos de Europa, Cangas de Onís, Covadonga, Cabrales,
Ribadesella. You can also access the western area of Cantrabria
in a short period of time: Potes, Comillas, Santillana del Mar,
San Vicente de la Barquera...
The eastern area of Asturias keeps all the richness of the rural
culture. There, you can find small villages that are completely
adapted to the modern times without losing the charm of the
country.
Environment
Arts, culture and nature
There are a series of beaches of white sand and crystal-clear
water that stretch within the Llanes Council. In many of them,
the natural phenomenon called bufones can be observed. The sea
seems to breathe and even roar when forming jets more than 20
meters high.
Some of these beaches have been awarded the blue flag, like the
beach of La Franca, that is only 3 km away from La Casona and is
part of the Protected Landscape of the Eastern Coast of
Asturias.
When visiting the coast, you must not forget: Tazones, Lastres,
Ribadesella and Llanes, with the Cubos de la Memoria, of
Ibarrola.
For the lovers of nature, the landscape of Asturias offers
spectacular views such as: the Picos de Europa, the Cares, the
Santuario de Covadonga (a small Christian sanctuary surrounded
by history), and we cannot forget the visit to the Lagos de
Covadonga lakes and the mine of Buferrera.
The lovers of prehistoric art can visit the Pindal caves -the
closest ones- or the Cueva de Tito Bustillo. And in Cantabria,
we can find a unique cave: the Cueva delSoplao.
Finally, there is a big variety of museums, where you will be
able to find a small part of our history. For example, the MUJA
(Jurassic Museum of Asturias), the mysterious Ídolo de Peña Tú,
the Ethnographic Museum of the East of Asturias-Porrúa (that
recreates a traditional house from Asturias with all kind of
details), the Archive of Indianos of Colombres, etc…
La Casona’s location will allow you to enjoy a great variety of
cultural and natural attractions and will afford you the chance
to practice an active tourism. It will be a pleasure for us to
advise you about the charming places that can be easily found in
the area. Out of the many options, we would like to mention the
