Ribadesella is one of Asturias's hot spots for adventure sports, especially because the bridge that crosses its estuary is the destination for the famous canoe descent of the Sella River.
The town has a history dating back thousands of years. Although it was officially founded by Alfonso X the Wise in the 13th century, the nearby Tito Bustillo Cave is one of the most important cave paintings. Furthermore, the port has been a shipyard, and whaling ships have operated in its waters.

Ribadesella is a beautiful fishing town with many romantic outdoor cafes. Ribadesella is also a good starting point for a detour via Arriondas and Cangas de Onis to Covadonga in the Picos de Europa National Park.
