Nora River Hiking Tour

We will meet at your chosen time in Lugar Priañes to begin this hiking tour along the meanders of the Nora River.

The journey starts with a short walk to a viewpoint near the town center, offering views of the famous meanders of the Nora River, showcasing geological erosion.

We will then descend 1 kilometre (0.6 miles) on an old path towards the access road of the hydroelectric power station on the Nora River, allowing for an up-close look at the facility that generates energy from water.

Continuing, we approach the confluence of the River Nora and the Nalón River, where we will walk along a path carved into the rock, enveloped by lush forest. A short break will be taken here before proceeding.

Post-break, we will ascend through chestnut trees and meadows grazed by cattle. Soon, we will complete the loop and arrive at Priañes park, home to a statue of the well-known Asturian actor Arturo Fernández.

Finally, we will return to the starting point, concluding the route after two hours of hiking.
