Ruta del Alba

As Asturias has a lot of beautiful nature, we wanted to experience that - and our first hike attempt was the Ruta del Alba. Despite being over easy conditions (flat and along a concrete road) it took us very long to go some part of it, but no complaints about it! Kids were very well behaved, mostly walking by themselves or Alisa at times in the hiking backpack, and enjoying many experiences along the way. The start of the trail was at Soto de Agues where a myriad of cats lived for enthusiasm of our kids. Then we bought some walking sticks for all the family from a man who was giving that money to Doctors Without Borders, luckily because that kept them entertained. Then there were many butterflies and insects and eventually, the river. That was refreshing! And we continued until we could find a picnic table to have our well-deserved lunch! The way back was faster, either because Alisa was half asleep in the backpack or because the storm was threatening to appear at any moment. Luckily we were home before any major drop got us.Read more
