NATURE: “FITO VIEWPOINT”

One of the main features of Asturias is the short distance that lies between the mountains and the coastline. The orography of the Principality of Asturias gives way to the winding roads that can take you from the beach to the mountains in a very short space of time. Depending on the road you take, these narrow, winding roads can be daunting, but the places they run through are incredibly beautiful.
One of these roads is the renowned “Carretera del Fito”, which joins the municipality of Colunga on the coast with Parres, inland. I say renown, because this is where the popular motor race takes place each year, the “Subida Internacional al Fito” (International Race to El Fito), which attracts thousands of spectators.
