Santo Adriano: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Desfiladero de las Xanas Gorge lies almost entirely in Santo Adriano; only a small section inside the gorge belongs to Proaza. It features a diverse mixed forest with hazel trees, hawthorns, ash trees, lime trees, maple trees, whitebeams and elms. Golden eagles and Egyptian vultures can be observed in the gorge; in some places, it reaches a depth of up to 100 metres.
The Ruta de Las Xanas (PR-AS 186) is designated as a natural monument. The first section of the Senda del Oso begins in Tuñón in Santo Adriano and ends in Caranga Baxu in Proaza. The Tuñón–Caranga section of the Senda del Oso is an easy, family-friendly route.

Access to the Senda del Oso in Tuñón is via the A-63 to Trubia, followed by the AS-228 to the Área Recreativa de Tuñón. The Centro de BTT Valles del Oso is located at the beginning of the Senda del Oso Greenway.
