Asturias hides an infinite number of new places for visitors, and all which are interesting for tourists to discover. For example, there is the Municipality of Cabranes, which is rich in nature, culture, arts and crafts, gastronomy…
The capital of Cabranes is Santa Eulalia (Santolaya), set in central-eastern Asturias, in the Cider Region, and shares its borders with the municipalities of: Piloña, Villaviciosa and Nava; the latter two also belong to the Cider Region.
This place has many virtues, but the most emblematic is its natural surroundings. Meadows, valleys and indigenous forests in particular, all which make up a beautiful natural environment that captivates the tourist with its spectacular views.
Cabranes is, almost in its entirety, countryside, which means you can enjoy many sign-posted routes that run through the municipality. From high points, you can see plenty of indigenous forests and mountains that make up this municipality and you can also enjoy amazing panoramic views of the Sierra del Sueve and of the Picos de Europa.

Nature: Guayadeque Gully

When I first wrote about this series of articles on Gran Canaria, I mentioned that this island is a lot more than just beaches… So here is one of the places that proves what I’m saying: the Guayadeque Gully.
The Guayadeque Gully is one of the largest on the Canary Islands and the natural separation between the municipalities of Ingenio and Agüimes is of great archaeological importance, given that this was the most populated area of the island in ancient times.
This spectacular place is amazingly beautiful: you can clearly see how the climate has eroded the land, exposing a very wild landscape; ochre hues, indigenous flora, the conservation of ancient settlements in caves (now used as homes)… all this – and more – has led to the Guayadeque Gully to be named the “Guayadeque Nature Reserve” but it was later reclassified as “Natural Monument” (which is the name it holds today).

Gran Canaria, as I mentioned in the previous article, has many tourist attractions, one of them being Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is over 530 years old, although it wasn’t until 1478 that it was founded as a city because originally it was a military base. The following link provides more information on the history of the city. (Click).
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has many tourist spots. Below is a selection of these attractions and I shall talk about them in forthcoming articles:
