Very close to Vega beach, in the town of Torre, lies the Puente del Arcu, a unique natural formation created by the erosion of the Acebo River on Carboniferous limestones. A short walk through the forest leads to this rock arch, an ancient section of a fluvial cave where subterranean features, such as stalactites and flag formations, are still preserved. Beneath the arch, the ruins of an old flour mill add human history to a geological spot as beautiful as it is unexpected.
The Asturian Dinosaur Coast offers a fascinating journey along the Jurassic cliffs of Caravia, Colunga, and Villaviciosa, where footprints, bone remains, and marine fossils from millions of years ago are preserved. This driving route explores sites such as Vega Beach, the Jurassic Museum of Asturias, La Griega Beach, Rodiles, Misiego Cove, and Tazones, combining geology, coastal landscape, natural heritage, and small, accessible stops for all audiences. An ideal tour to discover how the sea, tides, and Earth’s history continue to reveal the footsteps of the ancient inhabitants of the Jurassic period.
We travel to the municipality of Onís to visit one of the interpretation centers of eastern Asturias. This center of great geological interest is the only cave included within the Association of Spanish Tourist Caves (ACTE).
