Primavera Tour. Weds May 14th - Tues May 20th Primavera means Spring in Spanish and this tour will let you see Asturias at it's early best. The meadows are carpeted with spring flowers, the high peaks are still wearing their winter mantles of snow and the rivers rush seawards with their burden of melt water from the mountains.

Your stay will be on a B&B basis this gives you the freedom to explore some of the many restaurants where you can enjoy the local food. Every riding day you will be taken on a guided tour each one will have a different destination, the pace will be moderate which gives you the chance to see and enjoy the scenery, rather than just glimpsing it at high speed on the way to somewhere else.
