Kampaoh Deva

Getting out into the Asturias countryside? An easy way to start is to follow the Senda del río Peñafrancia (20 minutes’ walk to the trailhead), and there are several more nice trails to choose from nearby, including the Senda del Monte Deva (10 minutes’ drive to the trailhead). And if long walks seem a bit too energetic for your holiday, you can instead take a stroll around the Jardín Botánico Atlántico or take a bit of gentle exercise at Deva Golf Pitch & Putt (both five minutes). Of course, there’s also the option of going up to the coast – perhaps seeking out sandy patches like Playa de La Ñora or Playa de San Lorenzo or taking a coastal walk to scenic spots like Mirador de La Providencia (all 15 minutes). For a bit of urban wandering, head up to Gijón (15 minutes), which is home to the Railway Museum of Asturias, the Campo Valdés Roman Baths and the Bioparc Acuario de Gijón sea life centre. Or perhaps you’d like to see all of Asturias in one go (and feel like a giant at the same time), in which case you should visit the model village at Museo Asturias Si Yo Pudiera (20 minutes).
