BEST HIKES IN ASTURIAS – PUERTOS DE AGÜERIA

Today we start a new section in our blog, “THE BEST HIKING ROUTES IN ASTURIAS”. OK, OK, I know. Talking about the best hiking routes in Asturias is a bit pretentious and subjective. There will be those who adore the Cares route, those who only make eyes at the Senda del Oso, those who think […]
