Oviedo/Gijon: Somiedo Natural Park & its Rural Villages Tour from Oviedo: Somiedo Natural Park and its Rural Villages

Discover the stunning natural beauty of the Somiedo Natural Park on a guided tour from Oviedo. Visit the charming villages of Las Veigas, La Peral and Pola de Somiedo where you will enjoy free time.
Join a tour through the stunning Somiedo Natural Park, a protected area declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2000. This park has been one of Asturias' first protected natural spaces since 1988 and remains one of the best-preserved areas in northern Spain. Somiedo Natural Park offers a unique environment that perfectly represents the ethnographic culture of the Asturian mountains.

Begin your journey as you head toward the Alto de la Farrapona mountain pass. Along the way, immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the rocky mountains and pass through a zone with several viewpoints, perfect for spotting bears.

Upon reaching Alto de la Farrapona, set off on a 30-minute walk to discover La Cueva Lake, offering breathtaking views surrounded by mountains.

Next, travel to Las Veigas to visit the Somiedo Ecomuseum. Here, learn about traditional trades, transhumance, and the famous "cabañas de teito", traditional local dwellings with thatched roofs.

Visit Pola de Somiedo, the capital of the region, located at the heart of the park. Wander through its cobbled streets, stop by the 18th-century San Pedro Parish Church, and have some free time to enjoy local cuisine.

Finally, head to the village of La Peral, located at an altitude of 1,200 meters. Once a traditional "braña vaqueira", it was a seasonal settlement where "vaqueiros" (nomadic herders) lived with their livestock during spring, summer, and autumn before moving to lower-altitude villages for the winter. In La Peral, visit the Lookout El Príncipe, a viewpoint offering spectacular panoramic views of the valley.
