Cangas do Morrazo

The village of Cangas, placed on the southwest side of the Peninsula of Morrazo, in the heart of Galician Rias Baixas, offers the visitor many and varied tourist attractiveness. To discover all its richness it is necessary to go for a stroll around its five parishes: Aldán, Coiro, Cangas, Darbo and Hío. It is worth staying and enjoying some days in this land to discover our people and traditions, the beauty of our beaches, which are constant along the coast, and the landscape, as well as our assorted gastronomy and magnificent historic-artistic heritage.

The parish of Aldán, with its little ria of calm waters, offers us beautiful beaches and very near, in the parish of Hío, there are little coves combined with big beaches, highlighting also the beautiful baroque “cruceiro” (cross), one of the most important ones preserved in Galicia. The view over the sea and Cies Islands from the cliffs of Costa de Soavela and Cabo Home are imposing...

The parishes of Darbo and Coiro count on beautiful baroque churches and wonderful places and in the centre of the parish of Cangas we can enjoy the typical houses with “patín”, the former collegiate church, the promenade, etc.

After a delightful walk, it is worth stopping and enjoying the abundant gastronomic offer shared out by the numerous restaurants and bars and the great number of popular festivals and cultural events hold along the year, highlighting the “Mostra de Teatro Cómico e Festivo” (theatre festival), Argálica (craftsmanship exhibition), “Danzas de Damas e Galanes” (dance) and Holy Week, among others.

Cangas de Narcea

The Muniellos forest, declared Comprehensive Natural Reserve, is one of the most representative spaces that shelters indigenous species such as bear and capercaillie. On the other hand, the visitor will develop a great number of sports linked with nature, such as game hunting (roe deer, wild boar, deer and chassois) and lower game hunting, as well as the river fishing in any of its kinds.

Cangas de Onís

"Cangas de Onís" is a whole of History, religiousness and landscape. With a great part of its territory inside the National Park of Picos de Europa, it highlights as a natural entrance to this mountainous massif and as point of departure for numerous excursions, not only to the Comarca Oriental Asturiana (eastern region of Asturias), but also by all the Principado (principality). Cangas de Onís welcomes the traveller as a town that combines the perfection of its taste of old village with the life and the level of services of a modern city. It adds to this open and friendly character the condition of Marian Sanctuary. Don’t forget that Covadonga was the beginning of our history and the point of arrival during centuries for pilgrims who, from all Europe, came attracted by the beauty and recollection of the Holy Cave.

It has a privileged situation, at the bottom of Picos de Europa, and it is very close to the coast (hardly 25 kilometres form the best beaches of the east side of Asturias). Nowadays, it offers the visitor a very complete and balanced hotel infrastructure, perfectly adapted to the environment and that covers the need of accommodation. This offer is completed with a great variety of restaurants, companies of active tourism, mountain guide services, etc.
