Characterised by dramatic mountains, a wild coastline bordered by verdant hills, craggy cliffs and golden sands, Asturias is a beautiful part of northwestern Spain. Proudly referred to as the ‘real’ Spain by many locals, this beautiful region has long been a favourite of outdoorsy explorers and nature lovers. It’s also a foodie hotspot, and many of the wonderful hotels and guesthouses dotted throughout the Asturian countryside boast fantastic restaurants. Whether you’re dreaming of a seaside break or a rural escape, our pick of the best places to stay in Asturias has it all.
The region’s capital, historic Oviedo is wonderfully walkable, and brilliant for guided heritage tours. The old centre, studded with ancient landmarks, is lovely. The Archaeological Museum of Asturias, Basilica of San Julián de los Prados and the Museo de Bellas Artes are not to be missed. Foodies, too, will delight in lively markets and fresh produce sourced from Asturias’ verdant fields and sparkling seas. For a buzzy port city with its own blend of food and culture, look to Avilés.
If you’re dreaming of escaping to a charming little beach town, make your way to Ribadesella, Llanes or Cudillero. These are great spots for swimming, surfing, sailing and fishing. Clifftop coastal walks, too, can very special. Venture inland for treks, horse rides and mountain biking excursions in the rocky Picos de Europa mountains. Many of the best places to stay in Asturias will be happy to point guests towards artisanal farms producing more than 100 types of cheese, or the breweries which craft the region’s famously flavoursome apple cider.
