Beaches in Asturias that have a picnic area nearby
Santa GadeaTapia de Casariego, Asturias
I’m going to name this one Santa Gadea in the title but you should know that you might find it under two other names: Ribeiría (you will see this name on some indicators) or Pantorga (the name of the islets to the West). I won’t use the name Ribeiría because in Tapia there is another […]
ArnaoCastropol, Asturias
