About this tour
Live like an Ovetense for a day on this seven-hour outing from Oviedo. Walk a disused railway line through Asturian countryside, ducking through old tunnels and crossing the Nalón River on a mostly traffic-free path. After 10 kilometres you'll reach Las Caldas, an 18th-century thermal spa where you soak for two and a half hours. Finish with a three-course regional lunch at a village restaurant before returning to the city by private car.
Highlights
- Walk a converted railway route through rural Asturias
- Pass through historic train tunnels and cross the Nalón
- Soak in warm mineral waters at a heritage spa
- Eat a proper three-course Asturian menu del día
- Learn local history and food culture from your guide
What to expect
The walk itself is moderate: a 10-kilometre gentle gradient following an old rail bed, mostly away from traffic. Your guide will share stories about the railway's past, the river, and Asturian traditions as you go. Las Caldas is a proper thermal resort with heated pools and saunas—you'll have free rein for 2.5 hours. Afterward, you'll sit down to a traditional three-course lunch with wine or cider included. The spa requires a swimming cap (bring your own or they'll supply one), and you'll need moderate fitness for the walk itself.
Good to know
Pack swimwear, a cap, towel and flip-flops. The spa is fully accessible by wheelchair, and prams are fine on the route. A car collects you from the spa and drives you back to Oviedo. Snacks and water are provided during the walk.
