Adults and teenagers who do not get seasick

The short trip to Cabo Vidío takes an hour and twenty minutes; this is the long one. Cudillero Aventura proposes a whole morning by launch heading west, along the western coast of Asturias, with a stop on foot at Puerto de Vega, which by road is about 40 minutes away.

The route

It leaves Cudillero harbour for the cliffs and caves of the Rebeón and Cabo Vidío, at Oviñana. It continues to El Silencio beach and Gueirúa, and carries on west to Cadavedo beach, where the launch positions itself beneath the cliff of the Regalina chapel. After rounding Cabo Busto, it enters Luarca harbour and goes on to Barayo beach, in the Barayo Nature Reserve. Before returning it docks at Puerto de Vega, winner of the Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias award in 1995, and you disembark for about 45 minutes to explore it. In all it takes about four hours.

Price and booking

It costs €90 per person. This trip cannot be bought online: you book by calling 627 89 49 14. Boarding is at the company's door in Cudillero's Puerto del Oeste. Everything depends on the sea, and the company is strict about departure time: arrive in good time.

Who it is for

For those who want to see the western coast without driving and can stand four hours in a launch. If you get seasick or go with small children, the short Cabo Vidío trip, from €35 and €25 for children, is a better idea.

Tips

  • A coat and something to eat It is four hours at sea; the Puerto de Vega stop is short.
