Horse riding · 1 or 2 h · Leaves from Soto de Cangas along the royal road and the river, with a cider stop on the 2 h ride; from age 8 on the long one; price on request.

El Dorado leaves from Soto de Cangas, a few minutes from Cangas de Onís, and according to its website has been running horse rides around the area for more than 25 years. A guide always accompanies you and the ride begins with instructions on how to handle and ride the horse.
The two routes
The 1-hour ride goes from the stables to the village of Isongu along the old royal road and back. It leaves every hour in daylight, from 16:00.
The 2-hour ride also passes through Isongu and Santu Mederu, goes down to Corao along the riverbank, crosses it and makes a stop halfway with cider and soft drinks. It returns via Celorio, crosses the river again and ends at the stables. It is suitable for children from age 8 who are over 1.20 m tall.
The company also offers long-distance rides around the Picos de Europa and the climb to the Lakes of Covadonga, which are requested through the form on the website.
Price and booking
The website does not publish prices: ask for them through the booking form or by phone (629 875 061). It is at Soto de Cangas, 40, 33589 Soto de Cangas. It operates practically every day of the year.
When to go
Spring and autumn, when the meadows are green and there are fewer people. In summer, the afternoon ride avoids the hottest hours. In the rain, confirm by phone whether there is a ride.
What to bring
Long trousers, closed shoes, a light jacket and water. The website does not make clear whether the cider at the stop is included: ask when booking.
To combine with
Nearby you have the Covadonga Sanctuary and, closer to Arriondas, the horse ride beside the Sella if you prefer another stretch of the river.
