Itinerary
In this first seaside town in which we are going to stop, in the council of Valdés, you will be able to discover a privileged environment where the sea and the mountains merge. This beautiful town offers all its visitors a multitude of leisure and entertainment plans. We will walk through the streets where the Nobel Prize winner Severo Ochoa was born, a real reference point, of whom the town still keeps many memories. We will also visit the spectacular Plaza Miares and the hermitage of La Regalina, one of the jewels of the Principality of Asturias.
Discover One of Asturias’ Most Picturesque Corners: The Ermita de la Regalina Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Cadavedo, this charming chapel offers breathtaking views of the Cantabrian Sea. Let yourself be captivated by its history, its stunning natural surroundings, and the unique magic that makes this place truly unforgettable.
A place that we will visit with expert local guides and where we will also have free time to taste all the gastronomy of the area, with a previous recommendation from the guides. But before lunch, it's time to get to know every corner of another of the most incredible fishing villages on the Asturian coast. Cudillero captivates everyone who sets foot on its streets. Peculiar and steep paths, roads and pavements that end up leading to the sea. The life and activity of the inhabitants of the so-called 'Villa Pixueta' takes place along them.
Avilés has been transformed into a modern and avant-garde city, where, above all, the Niemeyer Centre stands out.
Throughout our visit we will also visit the historic quarter, which is incredible, the Sabugo Church, facing the Avilés estuary, the Plaza de la Merced, presided over by the monumental Church of Santo Tomás, or the aforementioned Avilés estuary, which holds an incredible story about the very important industrial sector in Asturias.

First and foremost, Anna our guide was absolutely phenomenal, possessed a depth of knowledge of the area, and most all, she was very kind, personable, and patient. As for the tour, it was crammed packed with activities, wonderful views, and plenty of free time. This is hands down one of the best tours that I’ve ever taken.
I highly recommend taking any tour with Buen Día. The company is very professional! I was the only English speaker on the tour, and the tour guide, Anna, was very attentive and made sure I understood her well. Also, the driver really knows the road, and I felt safe the entire trip. Thank you for providing this service, Buen Día!

It was a great experience with a lot of historic information. It helps you appreciate and understand things much more interestingly.
Hi Sigfred! Thank you so much for your kind words and rating! We are truly glad you had such a wonderful day discovering the Asturian coastal towns and hope to welcome you back again for your next adventure! Kindly, Buendía.
Santiago was an excellent and humorous guide. We were the only English speakers in the group, and he took time to explain the sights to us privately after addressing the group in Spanish. The tour was fairly well-paced, although an extra 30 minutes in Cudillero (with lots of steps to climb to the view points) would be great just so that we could cover more ground! Driver was good too! Highly recommended tour to the coastal areas of Asturias.

Visiting Luarca is living an unforgettable feeling. It has a very flirtatious fishing port, you breathe an atmosphere of fishermen and village Asturian people. The people are very friendly.
¡Buen día! Nos alegra enormemente saber que Luarca le ha causado tan grata impresión, ¡es uno de nuestros grandes favoritos! Esperamos recibirle pronto de nuevo para seguir conociendo Asturias u otro destino. Atentamente, Buendía.
We arrived at the central bus station in Oviedo and we were surprised that there is no city bus halting there that would take you to the city centre. It is a little more complicated. After a walk of around 10 minutes you are pretty much in the heart of the city and it is very pretty. We were lucky enough to find a marathon taking place there on that very day of our arrival and it must have been a festival of some kind for there were also lots of traditional music and dance groups that were walking around the inner city and performing on prominent spots. It was such a delight that I will keep it in best memory. The museum of fine arts had very strange/short opening hours on Sunday so one must plan sightseeing schedule very well. I would recommend the Calle Gascona for having a meal but make sure you reserve a table beforehand. This is very crucial in that street or in Oviedo in general. The place that stunned us the most were the two pre-Romanesque churches almost next to one another (Santa Maria de Naranco and San Miguel de Lille) along the Camino Primitivo. It was such a peaceful place and you have a nice view over the city. My advice is: You better take a taxi up there (from the main bus station, you might have to wait for one) as the bus service takes long intervals and doesn't take you to the churches directly. It is still a very steep uphill route. Taxis are not that expensive in Spain so don't hesitate to take one. It was a breathaking experience for me to see and feel the flair of Oviedo! Definitely I recommend going there and seeing it.
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed Oviedo and its charming city center, the lively marathon, and traditional music and dance—it sounds like a memorable welcome! Great tips on the museum hours, Calle Gascona reservations, and the pre-Romanesque churches. We agree, taking a taxi to Santa Maria de Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo is smart for convenience and to avoid the steep climb. It’s wonderful to hear you felt the unique flair of Oviedo and had such a breathtaking experience. Buendia Tours España
