Argüero: Coast, River Trail and Culture for Your Holiday Apartment

In Argüero, a river trail, the coast and regional cultural themes come together. The characteristics of the area focus on different aspects: activities, the coast, culture and local events can be considered separately when planning your own day. The Ruta de los Molinos del Río Merón runs through the parishes of Argüeru and Careñes.

Nature and Holiday Apartments in Argüero

Playa de Merón lies at the mouth of the Río Merón between the parishes of Argüeru and Careñes. The beach is 200 metres long, consists of pebbles and white sand, and has road access. Flanked by cliffs, Playa de Merón lies on the Costa del Jurásico Asturiano. A site where dinosaur footprints were found lies half a kilometre west of Playa de Merón and can be reached via a path that crosses the cliffs.

The beach, cliffs and dinosaur footprints represent different landscape and discovery themes.

Hiking

The Ruta de los Molinos del Río Merón begins or ends at Playa de Merón. The hiking trail is 8 kilometres long; along it, the river must be waded across several times. Waterproof, suitable footwear is recommended for crossing the river. For your planning, the length, type of activity and recommended type of footwear are presented as separate details alongside one another.

The combination of the route, river crossings and equipment represents a distinct activity focus. It appears in the article alongside the coastal and cultural themes, allowing Argüero’s different aspects to be compared separately.

Culture

The Ecomuseo del Poni Asturcón presents an exhibition about the origins and characteristics of the Asturcón and other Celtic ponies, as well as the myths and legends associated with them and the ethnographic traditions of their breeding. The Ecomuseo del Poni Asturcón is integrated into the Núcleo de Turismo Rural «La Quintana de La Foncalada» in Argüeru/Argüero, Villaviciosa. The portals of the Iglesia de San Mamés de Argüero recall the Romanesque style.

The exhibition and architecture create different cultural accents that can be considered separately when planning your own day.

For a stay in Argüero, a holiday apartment allows you to compare travel dates, your preferred accommodation category and cancellation conditions as separate selection criteria. The area’s themes remain diverse: the coast, river trail and culture each represent a different focus.
