Excursion to Ribadesella, Llanes and San Vicente de la Barquera

We make it easy for you to start this ten-hour excursion through the north of Spain visiting the cultural, historical and natural beauty of Ribadesella, Llanes and San Vicente de la Barquera. The fishing village of San Vicente de la Barquera overlooks the Bay of Biscay with its famous castle, the remains of its wall and the Picos de Europa in the background. It is one of the most touristic places in Cantabria, something that is due to its historical legacy, its beautiful views and the quiet walks that its streets offer. Together with the local guide, you can learn about its seafaring vocation, the history of the church of Santa María de los Ángeles -one of the main monuments of the city- or the monumental complex of the old town of San Vicente, today declared a Site of Cultural Interest. The next stop is Llanes, a traditional and touristic town in eastern Asturias, where we will enjoy a walking tour through the historic center. You can get close to its wall, its medieval tower or the famous Cubos de la Memoria de Ibarrola, painted in colors and facing the brave Cantabrian Sea. In Llanes there will be free time to get to know the culture and tradition of Llanes, for example, tasting its gastronomic richness. You will have enough time for lunch, and the guide will give you the best recommendations in the area. Our last stop takes us to the village of Ribadesella, another jewel of the Asturian coast. Once in town, we will take a walking tour to feel the sea breeze while listening to the best anecdotes in front of the stately houses of this fishing village. Here you will also find the iconic bridge over the Sella River, the end point of the International Descent that takes place every August. After this full day of disconnection, you will return to Oviedo mid-afternoon enjoying the mountain scenery through the window. Take the essence of the Cantabrian Sea with you on this excursion and make the most of your stay in this natural paradise.
