Might this be one of the most handsome Spanish towns you'll ever clap eyes upon? Quite possibly. Part of Spain's fab northern coast, the historic fishing town of Ribadesella is a place of two halves, broken up by the mouth of the Sella river – and edged by the golden sandy beach of Playa Santa Marina. A 600-metre stroll from the sands and a 15-minute walk from town lies friendly and family-friendly Camping Playa Sauces, a topping spot to settle down in for some Asturias sea and sand, or to rest your weary feet for a night or two if you're hiking the Camino de Santiago. Surfing and river kayaking are easy to access from here, and the spectacular Picos de Europa mountain range edges Ribadesella for day trips to do some intrepid hiking. Playa Sauces is also about a kilometre and a half from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cueva de Tito Bustillo, famed throughout Spain – and beyond – as the setting for some splendid prehistoric cave art in a place inhabited by humans for tens of thousands of years. (Go: these are a must.) Site facilities include a small café-restaurant serving up local dishes, a food shop, a playground, a TV room and a wifi area, plus a heated amenities block.
