With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Villaviciosa, 16 miles away, has to offer. Playa España, Monastery of Valdedios and Church of San Juan de Amandi alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Colunga, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Lastres Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Jurassic Museum of Asturias and Mirador del Fito.)
