Cycling in Northern Spain #10: Somiedo Natural Park, Asturias

Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing guys. 👍

Would you like to know the origin of the Industrial Revolution in Spain? Don't forget to visit the "Langreo" city in Asturias, Spain, a city that is growing in the face of tourism, they have, the Iron and Steel Museum called MUSI, the Wood Museum in the beautiful village of "Caso" called Museo de la Madera y la Madreña , the Mining Museum in El Entrego called "MUMI Museo de la Minería" suitable for all audiences or if you are daring, you can visit the real mine of Pozo Sotón ( only for brave people who really want to go down and walk through a real mine dressed as miners where they can chop and take their own coal stone), there is also the spectacular Ecomuseum of the Samuño Valley (Calling Ecomuseo del Valle del Samuño), where you can travel in a mining train through beautiful landscapes. Langreo is a small town with hardly any tourism yet, where the whole industrial revolution of Spain began, coal was produced for the whole country, and all the steel was worked. I think that everything is being prepared in silence in that area, but in a few years it will be very powerful, you have the dawn route nearby, the national park of "Redes", the "Tarna" reservoir, it would be beautiful if it was navigable and with bungalows although I understand that this is the idea in the future together with the one of making two fluvial beaches in the Nalón river (the longest in Asturias) and that it would be nice if you could go down in a canoe too, because it is beautiful, (and the seal is overcrowded) you have Roman bridges in the style of Cangas de Onis in the village called "Pola de Laviana", a village in which you can find the folkloric descent of Laviana, a great party declared of national tourist interest (search for it on the youtube "Descenso folklorico del Nalon") and restaurants in which for 7 euros ordering the menu of the day, they feed you three plates of food until you burst, has several museums, the new park of "La Felguera" is beautiful, with its pond, clean and well maintained streets, old buildings restored, a walk of more than 20km on the side of the river Nalón practically flat, the park of "Sotrondio" which is beautiful to visit, but with hardly any tourism, and when you climb its mountains and give the climb to the "El Alto de la Colladiella"… What virgin and beautiful landscapes… Go up to "Canzana", where you have beautiful views and the specialty is the roasted goat, or climb the "El Carbayu", which you can see the entire mining valley, For having, have even a shopping center with large and good cinemas for 4 euros the premieres! I think that all this area is a success to discover it and that it is still getting ready to launch it to tourism in a few years, take advantage to visit it now that it is still virgin 🙂
