Entorno

Casa Pipo is located in the coastal municipality of Colunga, which has several beaches,
all of them with good accesses and services, such as the beach of Lastres, beach of
la Isla, and the beach of la Griega, which is the one you can see in the photo.

Beach of la Griega

There are many excursions and visits to be made in this municipality.
Here are some of the main ones:

The Sierra del Sueve

The most adequate access is through the Mirador or viewpoint of El Fito; you can go up to the Cruz or Cross of Pienzu, the upper limit of the Sierra, but only 5 km far from the sea, which makes it one of the highest peak so near the sea in all the world. From there you have a splendid view: to the north, you can see all the coast, from the Cabo (Cape) Peñas to the province of Cantabria; to the south, the majestic high peaks of the Picos de Europa. In this land the primitive autochthonous woods are still preserved, with holly, birch trees, oak trees, yew trees... Among its fauna, the most remarkable is the mythical asturcón horse, an autochthonous Asturian breed.

Village of Lastres

A picturesque fishing village, it is an urban and topographical
wonder. It was an ancient roman port, and here each house is
a step in the urban "stair" that climbs up a natural hill.
The road winds around it up to the summit. The ensemble of
Lastres has been declared of historical interest.
Apart from the fishing port, it has also a yacht harbour.

The Jurassic in Asturias

Colunga is situated in the middle of the so-called "route of the dinosaurs", which runs along the coast from Tazones to Ribadesella. In it, there surface sedimentary formations dating back from the Secondary Era, which retain the footprints of dinosaurs. The most important remains found in the municipality are located in the cliffs of Lastres and at the Beach of la Griega, where there is one of the greatest footprints found up to date in Asturias.

Gobiendes

Rural ensemble of particular beauty, where one finds the
prerromanesque church of Santiago of Gobiendes, national
monument dating back to the beginning of the 10^th century, and the
Palace of Gobiendes, built around a 15^th-century tower, which can
be seen in the back façade. It was declared a National Monument,
but belongs to a private owner.

Routes

Up to the present time, the municipality has three signalled routes, of the kind called "small distance" (P.R.: Pequeño Recorrido) routes. The route of Gobiendes (P.R. AS-135), route of La Riera (P.R. AS-136) and route between beaches (P.R. as-134). The distance for all of them is between 5 and 6 km, and it takes approximately one hour and a half to complete each of them. The terrain is easy to walk around, and these routes allow us to enjoy the most beautiful villages and places through which they pass. One of the most beautiful routes to travel over is the stretch of the route Saint Jacques or pilgrim’s way to Santiago de Compostela, which passes through the municipality, from the river Espasa to La Llera.
