2. From Oviedo: Salinas and Lago de la Cueva Guided Day Trip

Have you ever been to two places at once? We take you to the border of Castilla y León and Asturias to discover the contrasts that define Europe's most famous natural paradise: the mountains and the sea. First stop! At no less than 1,708 metres above sea level at the top of the Farrapona. So, to impress from the outset. The views of the Ubiñas Massif will put you in context as soon as you get off the bus. Fasten your laces as we start our route. Of course, this is a route for everyone! We are going to enjoy a good walk with no gradients and with a local guide who is a specialist in the subject. In the style of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, you will follow a reddish-coloured path until you reach the expected turquoise-blue lake. Take a deep breath, and get your camera out! If you're an adventurous person, surprise! You have free time to explore the surrounding trails and paths. Then, immerse yourself in Asturian culture for a couple of hours. And of course, that means trying the local gastronomy. It's the best way to get to know a destination! Let yourself go because we have already thought of everything for you to enjoy your experience 100%. Complement your excursion with an Asturian menu designed for the most curious and hungry visitors.

Welcome to the European capital of surfing! We'll put our hand on the fire to ensure that during your visit you'll find the sea decorated with dozens of surfers who ride the waves of Salinas every day of the year, without fail! Although its fame undoubtedly precedes it for the summer atmosphere that is created on the coast during its surf festivals, competitions, markets, and music. But apart from the star sport, first things first, a good dose of anchors. Why? These basic navigational instruments are also well-kept treasures that tell stories of the seabed on Salinas beach. But what's more, the Anchor Museum is set in a unique place where it is difficult not to fall in love. In short: a monumental open-air complex that places the anchor on the throne it deserves and bears the name of one of the most passionate figures in biology and maritime culture: Philippe Cousteau. And after telling you the whole story, take your time to discover and enjoy yourself. We suggest a walk among the dunes along wooden walkways; a bit of adrenaline in its famous Eolo Skate Park with more than 1,300 square metres, which has a whole history behind it; or why not? Take a dip, no matter the season, and let the Cantabrian Sea cool you down. At the end, we will take you back on our latest-generation bus that reduces carbon footprints to the meeting point in Oviedo. Mountain and sea in one day with a local guide to discover the contrasts of Asturias. We're waiting for you!

overall a fabulous day helped by a brilliant driver and guide - just a shame that the time on the mountains was shorter than we would have liked. We would have forefeited some of the time in Cangis if we could have had longer at the Lakes

Al final no pudimos ir a esta porque ese día temprano me encontré mal y avisé.Me la cambiaron por la de Luarca ,Cadavedo ,Cudilllero y Avilés .Sensacional el paisaje y muy bien nuestro guía Miguel.
