Adrenaline waits, dormant and patient, to be liberated from the heart of its activities via land, water and air. Adventure has been a part of us and our territory since time immemorial… and active tourism, the type of tourism that allows you to live it to the max, has been around since it emerged in Spain at the end of the 20th century.

Asturias’ picturesque blankets of green are only broken up by the grey, rocky formations topping the Cantabrian Mountains, the Picos of Europa are its centerpiece, and the blue of its rivers and coast are outstanding. All you have to do is come to Asturias to see that you can do active tourism inside a real-life postcard. When it comes to truly becoming one with these experiences and with nature, what better way than to sleep in it? Asturias has a wide range of tourist accommodations: Hotels, Aparthotels, Inns, Guesthouses, Tourist Apartments, Vacation Homes, Rural Hotels, Rural Apartments, Country Homes, Rural Tourism Areas, and, of course, Campsites and Hostels located in pristine areas which allow you to sleep in direct contact with nature, become one with it, and wake up in paradise the next morning.

From high mountains to sea level or even underground, Asturias has all the ingredients you need to make the perfect adventure cocktail: precious natural environments to perform a vast list of land, water and air activities during the four seasons of the year. 04 #asturias #adventure Active tourism is the best way to enjoy this #NaturalParadise #asturias #adventure 05 Vías verdes Hiking Don’t miss out on… • “Ruta del Cares” (Cares Gorge Trail), the most spectacular gorge in the Picos de Europa. No hiker can miss out on this one. • Do you like walking long paths in stages? Take a chance and try the “Camino del Norte” (The Northern Route), the “Camino Primitivo” (The Primitive Route), the Camino Natural Asturias Interior (Interior of Asturias Natural Route”) or the “Senda Costera” (Coastal Route). • “Camín Real de La Mesa” (Royal Path of La Mesa), a historical route located inside the Biosphere Reserve Las Ubiñas - La Mesa. • If you like horses, check out the “asturcón,” the native pony breed of Asturias. • Serenely and with your family, walk along some of the Green Path’s 12 itineraries. Orienteering Activities IF YOU LIKE DOING SPORTS IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS while taking in and appreciating the environment that surrounds you, Asturias is your destiny.

Historic paths such as the Camino de Santiago will take your trip to the next level by turning you into a true pilgrim. The Northern Route on the coast and/or the Primitive Route link Oviedo to Galicia through the Cantabrian Mountains. Among the Long Distance Paths, the GR.109 “Asturias Interior” (Inland of Asturias) stands out as one of the most beautiful Natural Paths in all of 06 #asturias #adventure Enthe rutaway On to Nature Spain, which runs through the Asturian part of the Cantabrian Mountains from east to west. The GR.E-9, “Senda Costera” (Coastal Path) is another option and runs along the coast. Horseback riding or tricycle riding are other fantastic ways to get to know the natural side of Asturias.

With the added value of explanations from the guides, all that remains is to choose the activity that best suits your tastes. Buggies and quad bikes are adrenalin packed, Segways are fun to use, while in a more relaxed way excursions in off-road 4x4s take visitors closer to the countryside and other natural and cultural attractions. They also solve the logistical problems involved when walking trails have their start and end points located far apart.

Routes on Buggies Motoring through nature Off-Road 4x4 O ur adventure tourist companies design their activities with the maximum consideration and respect for the environment, understanding that this land is the main resource they need to carry out their activities. As such, they offer us a different way to enjoy ourselves, following a circuit or a trail, exploring the forests, mountains or coastline. They show us how to easily reach areas or places that would otherwise have been hard to get to and in one day can cover distances that would otherwise have been impossible to accomplish. In short, they bring everybody close to nature. 08 #asturias #adventure Choose your activity BUGGIES OFF-ROAD 4X4 QUAD BIKES SEGWAY #asturias #adventure 09 Rope Climbing (Via Ferrata) Urriellu or Naranjo de Bulnes (Picos de Europa), or “El Picu,” as we like to call it. Before going up into the mountains, you can get started at some of the best rock climbing schools that exist throughout Asturian territory. Accompanied by a harness and helmet, you can go underground to explore the depths of our mountains and our soul with views of stalactites and stalagmites. A long list of caves and chasms, some of which are enormous, will make it hard for you to choose. Don’t put your helmet down yet. Once you are back on land, you can check out our vias ferratas, fixed rope route climbing, or, if you like speed, you could try out land sailing. You will be taken by surprise. If you are one of those people who loves big thrills, be daring and try bungee jumping. Few activities will get your adrenaline pumping like this does. There aren’t many activities as intensely linked to adrenaline as these are. So, when the time comes to take out your maximum adventure spirit, there is no better option than doing it alongside the professionals and landscapes of stunning Asturias. Don’t miss out on… • In Asturias, you will discover climbing routes that adapt to all levels, but, will you dare to climb one of the walls of the Naranjo de Bulnes, the peak where rock climbing started in Spain? • The council of Quirós is waiting for you with more than 20 sectors y 300 climbing routes! • Get inspired and tour one of our caves or chasms.

The first lines of rock climbing’s long history in our country were written on the grey vertical walls of the famous Picu 10 #asturias #adventure • Do you need some adrenaline in its purest form? We dare you to go bungee jumping. Bungee Jumping Caving Choose your activity BUNGEE JUMPING CAVING CLIMBING AND ROCK-BASED SPORTS LAND SAILING ROPE CLIMBING (VIA FERRATA) ZIP-LINING/ TIBETAN BRIDGE #asturias #adventure 11 Kayaking Rafting Don’t miss out on... • The descent of the Sella River.

This comes with the professionalism and experience that has led to us being a leading international water sports destination from the very start of adventure tourism. Standing out for its size, at 4,900 square kilometres the NalónNarcea water catchment area represents almost half of the area in Asturias. 12 #asturias #adventure Asturian rivers share the common characteristic of being small but very fast-flowing, owing to our steep mountainous terrain. This is what opens the doors to adventures on the water. A land where fast-flowing rivers allow for white water descents, 100% adrenaline aboard a rubber raft (rafting) or hydrospeeding. If you prefer to enjoy the countryside beyond the river banks, don’t hesitate to experience it in a more relaxed way from a water craft (canoe, kayak, etc.), or take part in canyoning and follow the course of the streams through steep mountain hillsides. If you like to try new things, don’t miss out on ‘rivering’; a route along the riverbanks that combines hiking, jumping into the water, traversing, abseiling and even some potholing. Or paddle surf, not only reserved for the sea, where on a surf board you can gently paddle through calm rivers, accompanied by the melodious sounds of bird calls or the rumbling of waterfalls. Or you can simply listen to the silence. You will be captivated from the very first moment by experiencing our riverside woodlands and the aquatic life from a different perspective.

Experiences that you can relive in our channels and emulate at any time of the year, accompanied by the best professionals. he main goal is to share, but overall, to have fun. Canoeing, hiking, archery, mountain biking, caving, golf… are some of the activities that journalists such as José Joaquín Brotons (COPE), Mónica Marchante (Canal +), Nico Abad (Cuatro) or Juan Carlos Rivero (TVE) have been able to do in the two editions of the “Guardianes del Paraíso” Raid. In the words of one of the Asturian participants, Rodríguez G. Fáez (Gol TV reporter), “during the Raid, I could see see how my collegues were amazed by Asturias. The majority of them have come back since then and all of them are looking forward to the annual edition to come back and do the things that they have only done here. They love the landscapes, the gastronomy, the people… And that, for an ex-pat Asturian like me, is my confirmation that Asturias is paradise on earth.” The images of their adventures and misfortunes will never be able to describe everything that happened during the two days of the Raid, but they will definitely inspire you to organize your own adventure weekend. We invite you to watch it on our Youtube channel (www. youtube.com/asturias) and to copy them while accompanied by our professionals (www.turismoasturias.es/EN/active-tourism). Active Testimonials “Untouched mountains, spectacular valleys, and all within just a few kilometers of fantastic beaches. What impressed me the most was how green everything was, and the feeling of being surrounded by wild nature that invites you to do sports outdoors.” Juan Carlos Rivero, commentator at Estudio Estadio (TVE). “Asturias has the ideal scenery for biking, both in the mountains and on the road. Asturias also comforts travelers with a special type of gastronomy.” Eduardo Chozas, ex-cycling professional, technical director of “Ciclismo a Fondo” and commentator at Eurosport. “Asturias is an earthly paradise for hiking and biking lovers. You could spend an entire year experiencing different paths and never repeat the same one twice. Asturias will always surprise you. For me personally, I love to “Breathe Asturias.” Ricardo Sierra, journalist at Canal +. “I go back to Asturias all the time and when people ask me why I choose Asturias, my answer is an easy one: I am a ‘Guardian of Paradise.’ And I love to brag about it.” “Asturias is a true natural adventure park and its main appeal is that everything is authentic. You can recharge your batteries by simply walking or hiking through the Oscos, Taramundi and its surrounding areas. That is why the trekking with poles trip, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to soak up the unbeatable Asturian paradise. The series of curves while biking was also a huge adrenaline rush and having my first canoeing experience surrounded by that beautiful green, blue and yellow scenery was truly luxurious.” Natalia Ayala, journalist at RNE. “The sound of its waters, the taste of its foods, the smell of its land, the view of its landscapes and the feel of its history took over my senses. Going back to Asturias makes sense.” Fernando Ramos, commentator at Estudio Estadio (TVE1). 24 #asturias #adventure #asturias #adventure 25 66 67 68 69 Adventure tourism companies Address 50 51 52 53
