La Borbolla – Nature, Culture and Holiday Apartments

The Ruta de los Colores del Valle Oscuru passes through La Borbolla and is a circular route approximately 13 kilometres long. Its approximate length can be used as a specific reference value for your planning.

Nature

The Sierra Plana de La Borbolla is designated as a Site of Community Importance (SCI) because of its protected fauna and flora. In the Llanes area, the coastal route from Bustio to Pendueles partly runs through the Ría de Ribadesella–Ría de Tinamayor SAC and SPA area, as well as through the Sierra Plana de la Borbolla SAC area within the Natura 2000 network. Some of the best-preserved riverside woodland areas in eastern Asturias are located along the Río Cabra. The riverside woodland on the Río Cabra is considered a priority habitat under the European Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC, and the Río Cabra is home to one of the most stable otter populations in Asturias. The source of the Río Cabra is located in La Borbolla. The different route and landscape references help you consider nature-related topics separately by scope and area. When comparing different landscape aspects, you can sort the information by route type, geographical area and conservation topic.

Culture

The Indianos’ Route presents the village square and several mansions in the Indiano style in La Borbolla. La Borbolla has several mansions in the Indiano style, as well as schools, a hall and a park built through donations from the Indianos. La Borbolla has the largest concentration of Indiano architecture in the Valle Oscuru. For your planning, you can treat the buildings and the circular route as a cultural focus alongside the nature-related topics.

Getting there

The Valle Oscuru can be reached from Llanes via the N-634 and the AS-343 from Puertas de Vidiago, or via the LLN-4 from Buelna; from Unquera, the N-634 leads there via the AS-346 from La Franca. The route information names several departure points and individual road sequences. For your planning, you can therefore compare the departure point first and then the corresponding named option. Those starting from Llanes, Puertas de Vidiago, Buelna, Unquera or La Franca will each find a separate combination of the roads mentioned. This means that the journey can first be considered by departure point and then by the associated road sequence; this practical distinction adds an independent planning aspect to the nature and culture topics.

Tradition

For the Fiesta de la Sacramental y el Sagrado Corazón in La Borbolla, it was scheduled that the traditional Hoguera would be set up on 31 July at 11:00 p.m., during the period from 31 July to 3 August 2026.
