Selorio: Coast, Ría and Santa Eulalia

Paths and Coast

In Selorio, one route runs entirely through the parish of Selorio, from the church of Santa Eulalia de Seloriu to Punta Rodiles. The route from Seloriu to Punta Rodiles is classified as not very difficult and leads to a viewpoint overlooking Rodiles Beach and the Cantabrian Sea. A wooden coastal path leads from Misiego Bay to the mouth of the Ría de Villaviciosa and onwards to Rodiles Beach. In Misiegu, there is also a signposted path with explanations about the reserve and its flora and fauna, which is accessible to people with reduced mobility. The different path profiles can be compared by route, level of difficulty and accessibility. In the same coastal area, there is therefore a path running through Selorio with a viewpoint as its destination, a wooden section along the Ría and a signposted reserve path. Their differences lie in their destination, connection to the landscape, explanations and accessibility.

A holiday apartment in Selorio can be assessed on the basis of travel dates, accommodation category and cancellation conditions.
