Day Trip to Ribadesella, Llanes and San Vicente de la Barquera from Oviedo

We make it easy for you to start this ten-hour tour of northern Spain by visiting the cultural, historical and natural beauty of Ribadesella, Llanes and San Vicente de la Barquera.

The fishing village of San Vicente de la Barquera overlooks the Bay of Biscay with its famous castle, the remains of its walls and the Picos de Europa in the background. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cantabria, thanks to its historical legacy, its beautiful views and the peaceful strolls through its streets.

Together with a local guide, you can discover its seafaring vocation, the history of the church of Santa María de los Ángeles -one of the town's main monuments- and the monumental complex of the old town of San Vicente, now declared a Site of Cultural Interest.

The next stop is Llanes, a traditional tourist town in eastern Asturias, where we will enjoy a walking tour of the historic centre. You can get close to its walls, its medieval tower or the famous Cubos de la Memoria de Ibarrola, painted in colours and facing the brave Cantabrian Sea.

In Llanes there will be free time to get to know the culture and tradition of Llanes, for example, tasting its rich gastronomy. You will have enough time for lunch, and the guide will give you the best recommendations in the area.

Our last stop takes us to the village of Ribadesella, another jewel of the Asturian coast. Once in the village, we will take a walking tour to feel the sea breeze while listening to the best anecdotes in front of the stately houses of this fishing village.

Here you will also find the iconic bridge over the river Sella, the end point of the International Descent that takes place every August.

After this full day of disconnection, you will return to Oviedo mid-afternoon, enjoying the mountain scenery through the window. Take the essence of the Cantabrian Sea with you on this excursion and make the most of your stay in this natural paradise. Book your places now!
