Do not miss a nostalgic stop in Otur... with fabada
We will pass through the Principality caressing the Cabrales and the scorpionfish cake to fall asleep in the coast bars most awarded by surfers . A culín of cider? Come on, the last one, you have to surf!
The first stop is iconic, Tapia of Casariego , place of worship for national surfing, home to anthological and mythical championships decades ago. A town focused on surfing and European surfers focused on their lower lefts, their upper rights and their port at night. We will go to the point, to La Posada de San Blas. Don't be confused by asking: fabada and cachopo.
Nor can we forget the Martinez , portions and tapas and an enriching atmosphere: here you will deal with sailors to famous writers, singers or legendary surfers. “Highly recommended” what would my Asturian friend say left handed.
Don't miss a cachopo
The Galician wind pushes us through the old N-634 , now converted into a postcard of bridges overlooking the sea. Don't let anyone take a stop from you Luarca or Navia . Although, once we have traced a nostalgic route, it is necessary to get out of the car in Otur to be inspired by ** Casa Consuelo **. It will make you remember those adventurous surfer trips in ALSA from west to east to north and vice versa...
We have taken a bath in the beautiful Xago beach and now we enjoy the Aviles old town and the Casa Alvarín cider house.
So many cities have tired us for the benefit of a new surfing destination par excellence: Touch Salinas , and that's a lot. Everything is cooked here , there is so much that we will fall short.
My recommendation is to stay quietly at ** El Pez Escorpión ** in the middle of Salinas beach. A first-class tourist hostel with surf lessons, a good atmosphere accompanied by organic and biological food (you will have to be careful to catch inertia in the waves ) . The healthy approach that the surfer deserves after battles in the sea you will find it here.
In the middle of Salinas beach, the definitive surfer (and eco) refuge
We continue with the cool, and we go to Ewan . Enjoy the fantastic sunsets, have a cocktail, a gin and tonic and some fast food to let yourself be seen with your new hairstyle. Although from this wave we will go more to La Luna, a surfer bar par excellence with also some great views and modern food with thai touches.
The modern touch in Salinas
Its time to yantar, What would the Asturians say? On the one hand, Piemonte, specialized in game and the best stuffed potatoes you can imagine . On the other hand, El Ramiro, unbeatable in the area for portions and tapas, where cider runs all over the ground and we already needed that.
Highway and blanket, we are not very urban although Gijón is well worth a stop at any of its legendary stairs . Good to catch some rights in The Rock or The Mongol , to greet Lucia Martino or to give you a tribute at the Sidrería Tropical. Here you will not fail if you ask for the cecina and goat cheese cachopo or the one with mushrooms. For fartar again on the very same staircase 8. On that same street you will find the classic Las Candelas, with Juan Carlos at the helm and the best pizza in town.
A good option will be some waves in San Pedro then go behind the church for some roast beef and squid in the Begonina . And already involved in the mess of the area, do not forget to Cimadevilla but don't leave the city without letting yourself be seduced by the charm of El Bello Verano, my friend's surf bar Alexander Crespo.
The calluses of the Beautiful Summer
Little by little we enter the Eastern Shore hungry for caves and cliffs. Before collecting these images on our retinas we will have to surf a bit and snack on something, we can think of taking a look at beach spain . There are good waves, and appetite forces us to go a few kilometers away to discover ** Casa Pepito , in Peón **. His hamburger is worldwide, as well as the beef supreme plank.
Do you have a bean stew body and a menu cachopo? You must get to Casa Koty in Quintueles. Don't worry if today you feel like seafood: we propose grilled ñocla in Desi Pochi.
We get serious to visit one of the best waves in Europe: we set course for Rodiles. The waves are so good that you deserve tribute before surfing and after, and there are two options.
The El Roxu Cider House is a classic: if you come from the beach to Villaviciosa It is located in the same village. It is a spectacular site with a very patriotic staging and the scrambled eggs will make you cry (I don't even tell you about the cachopo or the steak).
Sooner or later you will go to El Catalín, on the same road from the Gema Del Mar car park to the famous fishing village called bowls . In this site rice with bugre It is a trophy like black rice or any type of shellfish. A world-class wave with a tablecloth at the level of Eden.
Surf, gastronomy and good life
We leave Rodiles to look at the Arenal de Morís , specifically at the Hotel Caravia , with Abelardo at the helm and deeply rooted in surfing. You are facing the freshest fish in the area at the best price . It also has some meats that can leave you prostrate in the chair forever with extreme happiness. Do not get overwhelmed, it offers you a room on the top floor, as well as accommodation in another couple of rural houses of his property so that you do not leave anything on the plate.
We cross our fingers that the San Antolin beach look good from the road and Llanes is waiting for us for the weekend menu at Sidrería Muros. Then we deserve some playful water pellets in the Andrín beach or in Ballota.
We are so happy that we can only think about meeting with Guillermo Alonso in Ribadesella to end this brutal route eating à la carte at La Guía. Once we have enjoyed it so much, we will have to rest and see the wave prediction: in Asturias everything is possible.
