Ribadesella

Highlight • Settlement

Ribadesella is one of Asturias's hot spots for adventure sports, especially because the bridge that crosses its estuary is the destination for the famous canoe descent of the Sella River.
The town has a history dating back thousands of years. Although it was officially founded by Alfonso X the Wise in the 13th century, the nearby Tito Bustillo Cave is one of the most important cave paintings. Furthermore, the port has been a shipyard, and whaling ships have operated in its waters.

Mirador del Fito

Highlight • Viewpoint

On one of the most famous hills of the Sierra del Sueve, stands an old concrete watchtower from the early 20th century: the mirador del Fito. From here we can take a continuous, almost unblinking shot that immediately reveals the basic elements of the Asturian landscape: sea, mid-mountains, high mountains, meadows, valleys, fog, towns.

Views of the Roman bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Roman bridge of Cangas de Onís, or puentón, is located over the Sella river and is one of the symbols of Asturias. Although it is known as the Roman bridge, it is a medieval construction from the time of the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile with its famous peralted arch and two other minor arches that are unequal. In 1939, a large Victory Cross, symbol of Asturias, was placed in the center of its great central arch.
