At Playa de La Ñora, the river flows into the Cantabrian Sea. Cazamular lies along a walking route connecting Los Pisones with the coast. It passes through Friuz and La Corolla before reaching the beach. Along one route, you’ll encounter several named places and a destination by the water.

The Walking Route to Playa de La Ñora

The Ruta de senderismo playa de La Ñora begins in Los Pisones and runs through Friuz, Cazamular and La Corolla to Playa de La Ñora. It is 6.3 kilometres long, and the walk takes about an hour and a half one way. The distance and time may vary depending on conditions. The route passes through the municipalities of Gijón and Villaviciosa before reaching the beach.

There are 24 wooden waymarkers along the route; their condition may change. Check local trail conditions before setting out. The route can also be ridden by mountain bike. The stated distance and time are for one way, so remember to factor in the return journey when planning your outing.

A Viewpoint Along the Way

Another one-way route is called Cazamular–Pisones. A route description published in August 2025 gives its length as 7.54 kilometres; it passes the Mirador de los Gemelos after 3.1 kilometres. From the viewpoint, you can see the coast, the rugged cliffs of Rovigo, the Dique Torres, Cabo Peñas and the Cantabrian Sea.

At Playa de La Ñora, a walking path also climbs to a viewpoint above the cliffs. This gives you different destinations to choose from: one walking route ends at the beach, while the other is called Cazamular–Pisones. Both are listed as one-way routes, so take this into account when planning your time. The second route is longer.

Church, Mill and Asturian Cuisine

The Church of San Clemente de Quintueles is documented in an inventory of the Diocese of Oviedo dating from the late 14th century. The original church was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. A mill was used for grinding grain and also generated electricity for the household’s own use. These historical references complement the walking destinations with examples of earlier construction and uses. Several centuries separate the inventory entry from the destruction of the original building.

For Asturian specialities, Casa Nicasia El Descanso restaurant specialises in fabada, llampares, patatines with octopus and rice pudding. It is located at Cazamular 8, 33314 Quintueles, Villaviciosa. As the offerings may change, confirm the listing before your arrival.
