After picking you up at the indicated time at the meeting point of your choice, we will head towards one of the most beautiful areas of the western coast of Asturias.
The first stop will take place in the town of Luarca. In this picturesque seaside village, birthplace of Nobel Prize winner Severo Ochoa, we will stroll through the old town. Then, we will move east to visit the hermitage of La Regalina. This small sanctuary on the shores of the Bay of Biscay, located between Luarca and Cudillero, is one of the most beautiful churches on the Asturian coast.
We will continue the excursion in Cudillero, popularly known as the pixueta village.
