Ribadesella is without a doubt one of the most beautiful areas of Asturias as it has a priviledged natural setting of sea, river and mountains.
Along its coast, Ribadesella has many beautiful beaches such as the 2 km Playa de Santa Marina which you can reach on foot from the town centre and Playa de Vega which is unspoilt and within completely natural surroundings.
The river Sella as it reaches Ribadesella calms down, widens and joins the sea creating a magical and beautiful harbour for the town.
Ribadesella's location is also ideal for exploring the hundreds of beaches in Asturias as well as other places of interest such as the famous Tito Bustillo Caves, The Coastal Dinosaur Route, Cangas de Onis, the Lakes of Covadonga and the Picos de Europa.
Ribadesella also celebrates a few major events such as the famous international descent of the river Sella in August, the horse-race on Santa Marina beach during Easter and a jazz festival in July amongst others.
