Beach of the Ñora

Ñora, a beach to admire

La Ñora is one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches on the Asturian coast, a triangular-shaped stretch of sand covering 7.500 square meters – completely submerged during high tide. It is located at the mouth of the stream of the same name, whose course marks the boundary between the municipalities of Gijón and Villaviciosa. This stream can easily be followed on foot from the Deva area in Gijón to the beach itself, a highly recommended excursion through the lush landscape along its banks.

The beach is surrounded by a rugged environment and several are nearby where we can take height and see the idyllic picture of this beach: that enters, between the soft cliffs and the green of the meadows, like a warm orange wedge .

From La Ñora, a marked trail leads to a nearby viewpoint , a natural promontory offering a more striking and beautiful vista of the beach. The same is true of the coastline that continues to the east and west.

On clear days, from this viewpoint, we will clearly appreciate the profiles of a coastal stretch that includes two of the most outstanding capes of the Principality: Cape San Lorenzo and Cape Peñas.

The beach is 250 meters long and is made up of sand, rocky outcrops and blocks, which gives it a certain geological mix that makes it more attractive.

In front of it we discover the famous Peña el Romero, which is revealed at low tide. It is a flat and unique stone, a paradise for bathers and fishermen.
