Ribadesella is placed on the eastern coast of Asturias, right at the feet of Picos de Europa (Peaks of Europe), and it offers to the visitant a wide range of cultural attractions: landscapes, history, nature, gastronomy. All together in a place covered by the course of the River Sella, the most popular in Asturias.
Ribadesella has a quality urban space with a wide promenade where the river, the estuary, and the sea go with the route along other milestones of this town: Mirador de Guía viewpoint, Paseo de la Grúa promenade, Ruta Histórica del Puerto (an outdoor museum about the history of the port), Paseo Princesa Leticia promenade, the Beach with its spectacular constructions owned by the so-called Indianos (Spaniards who made good in America) and erected in the beginning of the 20th century, or the Dinosaur’s route in La Punta’l Pozu.
The rural area offers interesting visits: the popular architecture and manor houses, which belong to former gentry’s families, live together with a rural landscape with wonderful little coves, spectacular geological formations in caves, and dramatic cliffs with its surprising “bufones” (blowholes).
