I’m sure many of you have not visited an infinite number of places, but not because you don’t know how to get there but because you are unaware they exist. This happens to me a lot, so I try to lose myself on purpose, in order to discover new places and sometimes I end up in places like this, The Cuevas del Agua Cavern.
La Cuevona (Cavern) is set in the village of Cuevas del Agua in the municipality of Ribadesella.
There is only one way to reach this village by car: through a naturally-formed tunnel. But you can also get there on foot or by bicycle along various routes, one of which you can do by crossing over the Rio Sella (although you can’t today because the bridge is broken at the moment) or by travelling from Arriondas to Ribadesella along the road of Fuentes (see the map below).
The Arroyo de Cuevas (the river of Cuevas) has shaped the 300m long cavern, known as La Cuevona. It is a beautiful geological formation, where the passing of time is evident thanks to its singular stalactites and stalagmites, their beautiful features highlighted by the cave lighting.
Undoubtedly, this is one of those breathtaking places that we always hope to find to break from visiting the same places of interest and overcrowded with tourists. Of course, there are places that are a must-see, for example, if you come to Asturias, you can’t leave without having visited the Lakes of Covadonga (amongst many other things). But I think it’s a good idea to mix ‘must-sees’ with an adventurous attitude towards tourism to make your trip all that more enjoyable…
