Why explore Asturias by Parador?
Asturias combines lush valleys, Atlantic scenery and some of northern Spain’s most atmospheric historic settings. It works especially well as part of a wider northern route through Cantabria and Galicia.
ASTURIAS AT A GLANCE
Monasteries, green valleys and the Cantabrian coast.
Asturias has a compact Parador collection with three very different roles: Cangas de Onís for the eastern mountains and Picos de Europa approaches, Corias for the quieter west, and Gijón for the coast and city. Together they give a useful cross-section of the region.
Picos de Europa gateway
Cangas de Onís is the strongest base for travelers building the eastern mountains and nearby valleys into the itinerary.
Coast & city
Gijón adds a more urban, seaside rhythm and works well before or after a countryside-focused route.
Western Asturias
Corias opens a quieter part of the region with mountain roads, river valleys and a noticeably different pace from the coast.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Which Asturias Parador fits your trip?
With only three Paradores, the choice is mainly about geography: eastern mountains, western interior or the central coast.
For the Picos de Europa
Cangas de Onís is the natural first choice for the eastern side of Asturias and for travelers prioritizing mountain scenery.
For a monastery stay
Corias gives you the strongest sense of a destination property in western Asturias, while Cangas de Onís offers a more accessible monastic base in the east.
For coast and city time
Gijón is the practical choice when you want beaches, restaurants and an urban base rather than a remote landscape stay.
