Blue Green Spain

A well-equipped and comfortable house within a few minutes of the coast and the town of Ribadesella.

Los Ablanos is a recently-built house following the style of the traditional Asturian villa. The house is very well-equipped and is beautifully decorated. The ground floor is full of excellently-crafted wooden furniture, all made locally. The two bedrooms upstairs have polished chestnut floors, and share a balcony which boasts views across to the Sierra del Sueve. The porch has a table and chairs for relaxing evening meals outside.

The house is in the small village of Sebreño which lies just above Ribadesella and is a mere 15-minute walk from one of the longest beaches in Asturias, Playa de Santa Marina, at the end of which lie the remains of some dinosaur footprints! Ribadesella itself is a popular resort for Spaniards and has a pretty old quarter with plenty of cafés, restaurants and bars. Ribadesella is also home to the Tito Bustillo caves that contain some of the most important paleolithic cave paintings in Europe.

In spite of its proximity to the coast, Sebreño is only a short drive away (less than an hour) from the foothills of the Picos de Europa. The nearby town of Ribadesella is a great centre for adventure activities such as canoeing and rafting.
