Blue Green Spain

A comfortable two-bedroom house within a few minutes of the coast and the town of Ribadesella.

El Acebo is a recently-built house following the style of the traditional Asturian villa. The ceilings and the floors upstairs are polished chestnut and the double bedroom has a lovely wooden gallery window. There is easy access to the ground floor bedroom and shower room (no steps), for people with limited mobility. 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 cafes, restaurants and bars. Ribadesella is also home to the Tito Bustillo caves, which 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 also a great centre for adventure activities such as canoeing and rafting.
