Walker Insight

Paraje del Asturcon is one of those rare finds on the Camino del Norte — a rural hotel that genuinely earns its setting. The views from the property across the River Sella toward the Cantabrian Sea and the snow-capped Picos de Europa are exceptional, and the warm, lounge-with-fireplace atmosphere is ideal for tired legs after a long day on the trail.

Ribadesella sits at the foot of the Picos de Europa mountain range on the Cantabrian Sea, and the Paraje del Asturcon makes the most of this dramatic geography. The hotel can arrange canoeing on the Sella river — made famous by the International Descent of the Sella each August — as well as sailing, caving, horse riding and quad biking. For pilgrims with a rest day in hand, this is an outstanding base for exploring the area.

The Tito Bustillo Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Palaeolithic paintings over 14,000 years old, is just a short drive from the property. Ribadesella town centre — with its cider bars, restaurants, and seafront promenade — is 3 km away.
