Pepin’s Route is a cultural and gastronomic route in rural Asturias, discovering the way of life in a typical Asturian village, and one of the best activities for children in Asturias.

This route consists in an accompanied descriptive walk around the village, observing its architecture: “hórreos” and “paneras” (granaries), traditional houses and balconies, etc., a visit to a cider-press house to learn about the history of cider and its consumption while enjoying a tasting, and a visit to a “mayada” (high pasture) where a replica of a shepherd’s hut is shown. The making of Gamoneu cheese is explained, and the shepherd’s culture that continues in present times. There are native breeds of domestic animals that thrive in the green hills: “Pita Pinta” chicken, “Asturcón” pony, and “Xalda” sheep. The last part of Pepin’s Route is dedicated to the gastronomy, and consists of an “espicha” (meal based on a variety of food) with traditional Asturian products.

Despite the Picos has tough terrain for biking, in the areas surrounding the National Park (and especially in the Llanes coast), it’s possible to do small biking routes with all the family. The Coastal Trail is a signalled 30-km route that follows the coastline between Ribadedeva and Ribadesella going through spectacular beaches and limestone cliffs. It’s a perfect itinerary to do walking and biking with children since it is generally level, and you can stop to discover hidden places, beautiful beaches, and small rural villages.
