Who it is for and what is nearby

It is a comfortable base for families and for those travelling by motorhome who want to see eastern Asturias without moving around much. From Avín you have Cangas de Onís and Covadonga close by: the Lakes of Covadonga, which in season you go up to on the bus to the lakes, and the Covadonga sanctuary. To the east, via Arenas de Cabrales, you reach Poncebos, the start of the Cares Trail. If you travel by motorhome and only need one night, Cangas also has the El Lleráu area.
