The east of Asturias, the “land of the rising sun”, where the Picos de Europa flows into the sea, houses 22 of our rural hotels that you should know.
The east of Asturias means dreamlike landscapes, cliffs, sandy beaches and spectacular coves. Where the green of the meadows mix with the blue of the sea, and the beaches are surrounded by cliffs with fossil dinosaur footprints and rock art caves.
