At the heart of the Picos de Europa is the Fuente Dé cable car, which saves a difference of 753 meters, placing the traveler at 1,823 meters altitude in just 4 minutes at a speed of 10 m/s. From the upper station the visitor will be struck by the sight of a landscape filled with immense beauty.

The coastline sector of Asturias between the localities of Gijón and Ribadesella is Known as the “Coast of Dinosaurs” and is characterised by the abundance of dinosaur and other Jurassic reptile prints and bone remains.

Some Keihin carburators have been sawn as well, the say...

Here we have one of the industrial veins that connected the UK with Asturias long ago. Once upon a time, in the early nineth century, the Indusrtial Revolution crossed down south the ocean and reached, through the Cantabrian Sea, the Spanish coast. So did Michael Robinson nearly a couple of centuries later, ...but he stayed.

The complex includes the information on mining activity that developed in the coalfields of Asturias from the 18th century as well as the history of coal mining, the Industrial Revolution, and technological advances in the field of coal mining. The main building comprises a cylindrical central area with a tower. Two aisles are attached to the main building and are home to numerous exhibition halls, and other services. Apart from the extensive exhibits and machinery on display, a simulated underground mine can be accessed by a cage, and is considered the main attraction of the museum.

Arnao Mine is one of the most important minig heritage of Spain. Located in a spectacular coast scenery, it is the oldest coal mine in the Iberian Peninsula, the oldest vertical mine pit in Asturias and the only submarine mine in Europe. The mine was closed in 1915.

Cider, Cheese, Seafood...

Traditional experiences in Cultural, Historical, Gastronomic Asturias.

Against modern Football, a neighbouhood football club keeps the faith since 1946, believing that others than current values must lead this game.

Unión Club Ceares has kept going since 1946 thanks mainly to the selfless collaboration of its socios (paid up supporters of the club). Since 2011 we have aimed to make the club more participative by turning these supporters into the main players not only on paper but in practice. This means giving them a real say in the decision making at the club. As at all clubs, a group of socios make up a board of directors; the body which takes care of the day to day running of the club. In our case the board is always dependent on the mandate from the Supporters Assembly.

Favourite football team in Asturias, is proudly back to La Liga"s First Division. Its current caotic economy has forced it to look back to its traditional reserve, producing now many young talented local players. Luis Enrique and Abelardo, both former Sporting and Barcelona players are now successful managers in those two teams.
