DURATION
1 hour 30 minutes
The tour begins next to the podium of the "International Descent of the Sella ," a perfect starting point for this exploration of the beautiful seaside town of Ribadesella. This sporting event has become Asturias's quintessential festival, being the only one in the region to be declared an international event . We'll step back in time to discover its origins, as well as interesting facts about the Sella Descent and how the people of Ribadesella experience it.
From here we will head to the old town of Ribadesella (declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1973), the "Portiellu" neighborhood, to enter the Plaza de María Cristina where we will talk about the illustrious and most important politician from Ribadesella: Agustín Argüelles , the father of the Constitution of Cádiz in 1812. From the town hall we will go towards the Church of Santa María Magdalena, where we can admire the paintings on the dome made by 3 artists from Ribadesella, with a spectacular baroque effect.
We will go along the medieval route that still preserves mansions with coats of arms of important families.
We'll continue along the Princess Letizia promenade. Did you know that the current Queen of Spain is an adopted daughter of Ribadesella?
We will go to the fish market to discover the history of the port. Did you know that until the 18th century it was the main Asturian port?
From here, we'll enjoy a panoramic view of the estuary before beginning our walk towards the Paseo de la Grúa (Crane Promenade), where a beautiful stroll awaits us, leading to the old flour mill. Along the way, we'll discuss the history of Ribadesella while admiring the murals created by the cartoonist and academic Antonio Mingote in 2007, which he painted with great humor and wit.
On the left side of the promenade, we'll begin to see Santa Marina beach with its stately homes built by returning emigrants from the Americas . During the 20th century, one of the most interesting and beautiful architectural ensembles in Asturias emerged, aligned with the seafront promenade, commissioned by the Marchioness of Argüelles.
After an hour and a half exploring the town of Ribadesella, we will finish at the end of the Paseo de la Grúa, right at the foot of Mount Corberu where you can climb to the Ermita de Guía and contemplate the best panoramic view of the town.
Of course we will talk about some traditions and the good gastronomy in the area and I will recommend all the places to see both in the council and during your stay in Asturias.
Why take the tour with me? Because I'll help you enjoy and see our region in a new light. Because I'll recommend the best places to visit, because the food is excellent, but even better when recommended by a local. Because I'll be your local guide, helping you with anything you need. And most importantly, because I'll make sure you have a fun and entertaining time.
