Information
In this stage our steps guide us from Gijón to the third city of reference of the Asturian Principality: Avilés. Avilés is usually undervalued in relation to other places in Asturias, due to its traditional link to industry. We assure you that nothing could be further from the truth, you will be amazed by its perfectly preserved old town. The dance of colors that make up its typical sailor houses asoportaladas, is a feast for the eyes.
This stage is part of the Northern Way. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Northern Way from Ribadesella to Ribadeo.
After a few urban kilometres to leave Gijón, the day opens onto lovely countryside and the woods of Monte Areo, an area of great archaeological interest with Neolithic burial mounds and megaliths well worth a closer look. Through churches and villages, with the occasional roadside stretch to watch for, you reach Avilés and its beautiful historic quarter.
