This is a really nice beach. It's long, it's wide. There's plenty of space and only few international visitors. It's fun place, a safe place with lots of families. The beach itself is very nice, but also the woods backing the beach is a nice area for people who prefers some cool shade and some quiet. There is plenty of free parking all along the way, but keep in mind that in high season they still fill up fast! There's a bunch of restaurants to fill your hungry stomach. Also bathroom / shower facilities. And then the part we liked best: A nice boardwalk all along the beach. It goes on for miles. Dogs are also allowed on there. Perfect for folks who need some walks like us. Loved it.

Wonderful beach! Very big; not crowded at all; beautiful scenery and surroundings; free and abundant parking, as well as many amenities including bathrooms; a first aid centre; an ice cream/cold drink stand; and a restaurant/cafe. The drive down to the beach it's also lovely and scenic.

Lovely beach with trees around for picnicking areas. Bit out of the way place with 2 restaurants and a surf bar. Pity the red flag was flying so no swimming as it was very windy.

Either you like surfing or just chilling on the beach this is your place. For surfing a bit tough, quite heavy localism if you are looking for the "left", if you go to any other spot no problem. Wild and stunning views.

A perfect wide beach with a beautiful rest area among eucalyptus trees. There are bathrooms and showers. It’s very popular in high season so the ample parking is usually all occupied but if you wait around a bit, a spot will free up.

Went to Sidra El Gaitero for a guided tour which you have to book in advance. Afternoon tour was 17.00 till 18.30, cost 5 euroes, at the end, on your receipt you were given a credit to spend on free bottles of cider. You can buy everything from champagne, bottles of cider and apple juice from the souvenir shop.

Wonderful tour in spanish. The guide Eva was super well prepared and you get a full understanding of cider process making. Super nice the fact that you can exchange the 5€ entrance for products. More over the products aren't so expensive. I recommend to book. I would have liked to try more products but they let you try only the standard cider (it's a try, not a tasting).

Interesting tour through this cider farm. The tour is only in Spanish, but we enjoyed it anyways.

Interesting, but not very interactive. Wouldn't recommend to go with young children.

SrR

No englisch.

Perfect place to get to know the real spanish cider story.

(Translated by Google) One of the best parks in all of Villaviciosa, an outdoor space in the center of everything, a good option for many people to go, a very positive point is that on Wednesdays there is a trail in this place, a very good location for It attracts good people and is very easy to find, and around it there are a lot of bars and shops of all kinds, from hairdressers, clothing stores, to Alimerka, it is undoubtedly a perfect place. In my opinion it is a great place built in one of the best places in Villaviciosa, the atmosphere is very calm and there are a lot of people who come to this place to enjoy themselves, it also has a place to take small children so they can have fun . (Original) Uno de los mejores parques que hay en toda Villaviciosa, un espacio al aire libre en el centro de todo, una buena opción para que vaya mucha gente, un punto muy positivo es que los miércoles hay rastro en este lugar, una muy buena ubicación para atraer buena gente y es muy fácil de encontrar, además alrededor de él hay un montón de bares y tiendas de todo tipo, desde peluquerías, tiendas de ropa, hasta el Alimerka, sin duda es un lugar perfecto. En mi opinión es un gran lugar construido en una de los mejores sitios en Villaviciosa, el ambiente es muy tranquilo y hay un montón de gente que viene a este sitio a disfrutar, además tiene un sitio para llevar a los niños pequeños para que se diviertan.

(Translated by Google) A park in a large square. Here you can see the names of the most important towns in the Villaviciosa Council. You can also see a representation of the Villaviciosa estuary. Very well equipped with benches and places so that children and adults can enjoy this place. (Original) Un parque en una gran plaza. Aquí se pueden ver los nombres de los pueblos más importantes del Concejo de Villaviciosa. También podrás observar una representación de la ría de Villaviciosa. Muy bien dotada de bancos y lugares para que niños y mayores puedan disfrutar de este lugar.

(Translated by Google) Different park, you don't find the typical slide. It's more of a "park of the future" thing in which the swings are metal and the floor is padded to compensate, hahaha. There are plenty of benches, a small pond and an area to walk. (Original) Parque diferente, no te encuentras el típico tobogán. Es más bien rollo "parque del futuro" en el que los columpios son metálicos y el suelo acolchado para compensar, jajaja. Hay bastantes bancos, un pequeño estanque y zona para pasear.

(Translated by Google) Visually beautiful, as long as you don't pay too much attention to the "fertilizer" (so to speak) that is distributed throughout the garden areas. Be careful not to get into or let the children get into any place where there is grass because you will go home with a gift in your shoe. The swings are, to say the least, bizarre, especially the supposed slide on which my daughter has already gotten two bruises between her legs. About the pond: well, I think it doesn't have any type of filtration, so in a matter of a couple of days it is completely dirty. But, hey, overall, looking at it from the air (with a drone for example) it looks wonderful 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Original) Visualmente precioso , siempre y cuando no te fijes mucho en el "abono" ( por llamarlo de alguna manera ) que se encuentra repartido por las zonas ajardinadas. Tened cuidado de no meteros o dejar a los niños meterse en cualquier parte en el que haya hierba porque os iréis con un regalo en el zapato para casa . Los columpios son , cuanto menos , estrambóticos , sobre todo el supuesto tobogán en el que mi hija ya se ha hecho dos morados entre las piernas. Sobre el estanque : bueno creo que no tiene ningún tipo de filtración por tanto en cuestión de un par de días está totalmente sucio . Pero , oye , en conjunto , mirándolo desde el aire ( con dron por ejemplo ) se ve maravillosamente 🤷🏻‍♀️

Quite and relaxing place with fantastic views of Rodiles beach.

A beautiful spot on the ría.

(Translated by Google) Don't miss a boat ride with Carlos. Prices range from €6 to €10 (for 10 to 2 people) for half an hour, or you can extend the time. They also rent canoes for exploring the Villaviciosa estuary. (Original) No perderse un paseo en un barquito, con Carlos. Precio de 6 a 10 € ( de 10 a 2 personas) por media hora o puedes ampliar tiempo. También alquilan piraguas, para recorrer la ría de Villaviciosa.

(Translated by Google) Very quiet beach to be with the little ones since there are no currents. The bad thing is that you have to wait for high tide because otherwise the water won't come in. The dike protects the beach and separates it from the estuary and currents. In summer there are people but there is no comparison with the Rodiles beach opposite. (Original) Playa muy tranquila para estar con los pequeños ya que no hay corrientes. Lo malo es que hay que esperar a marea alta porque sino, no entra el agua. El dique protege la playa y la separa de la ría y de las corrientes. En verano hay gente pero ni comparación con enfrente que es la playa de Rodiles.

(Translated by Google) It is a small beach, in the Barra de la estuary, in Villaviciosa, when it is at low tide it has no water, which it recovers at high tide. The environment is very beautiful, since in front of it you have Rodiles beach, and the Misiegu Cove. There is a large meadow, eucalyptus trees, tables, showers, a bar and plenty of parking. It also has a bar, with a terrace, where they serve meals, closed on Wednesdays for rest. (Original) Es una pequeña playa, en la Barra de la ría, de Villaviciosa, cuando está en bajamar no tiene agua, que recupera con la pleamar. El entorno es muy bonito, ya que enfrente tiene la playa de Rodiles, y la Ensenada de Misiegu. Hay amplia pradera, eucaliptos, mesas, duchas,bar y abundante aparcamiento.Tambien tiene un bar, con terraza, en el que sirven comidas, cierra los miércoles por descanso.

(Translated by Google) A riverside setting, ideal for families and spending the day with children. If you're going to be wading in the estuary, it's best to wear shoes to avoid cuts on your feet, especially for the little ones; the town's health center appreciates it. If you're looking for fine sand and a beach, this isn't the place. (Original) Entorno fluvial, ideal para familias y pasar el dia con niños. Si vais a pisar la ría mejor con calzado para evitar cortes en los pies, sobre todo los más pequeños, el ambulatorio de la Villa os lo agradece. Si vas a buscar arena fina y playa, no es el sitio.

(Translated by Google) A very quiet spot, with plenty of shade to escape the sun and enjoy a picnic. Ideal for families with children (Original) Lugar muy tranquilo, con muchas sombras para refugiarse del sol y comer un picnic. Ideal para familias con niños

The food here is SO good! It can be a bit pricy, but the cheap wine and sidra more than makes up for it! Also, the only place I went to where they poured the sidra for you each time, which made a HUGE difference in the taste.

Very good food and nice service. Amazing ciders :) I especially liked scrambled eggs with potatoes (so much better than it sounds) and cheesecake.

Fantastic cider experience for a tourist. Super authentic feel, full of locals, great food and a beautiful space.

Upscale place with a 2.0 modern twist to traditional ciders and food. Best ham croquetas. Hidden upstairs cosy dinner place and very big adjacent room for groups and parties.

Very nice experience. Good food, great setting & very friendly staff!

Nice place, but a bit overpriced. We did enjoyed every dish.

Most delicious Asturian food!! Congrats we will come back

Looked good on the outside but the food took ages and the calamari was undercooked as forgot the order. Tried to point this out when paying, as plate hardly touched, but got shouted at. As foreigners, just paid and left. Very disappointing.

Friendly staff and decent food, good so if you're in the area. The Cesar salad was very good. The "patatas with 3 sauces" was just french fries with filling sauce...

Family run restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere and lots of choice of food. The staff are very friendly and they even have menus in English. Food is served fast and is similar to pub food in the UK (Asturian style!)

Its a good place to go grab some food quickly, but only on the days when it's not very busy. The food is good but some of the waiters aren't very understanding.

Professional, good range, decent quality, fair prices, good hours. Not my number one choice in Vv but among the best.

Great service friendly staff and the food was very good value , highly recommended

Absolutley amazing

The best pizza! We treat ourselves to pizza from here nearly once per week and we're never disappointed. Also, the staff are fantastic! They get busy and work very hard, but still manage to be welcoming and friendly every time. If you're anywhere near Villaviciosa, you should definitely eat here!!

Very tasty pizza, but the waiter was very stressed and he forgot about an order, it was difficult to get his attention for more drinks and dessert.

It is more like a delivery place, but the pizza is good.

Forgot order

Best pizza in the city.

Dog friendly 😍

(Translated by Google) A pizzeria that surprised us, freshly made pizzas, the truth is that they took very little time to make and they were delicious We recommend the boletus one but they were all delicious. Very good size and very good quality-price ratio We liked it a lot (Original) Una pizzería que nos sorprendió, pizzas recién hechas, la verdad que tardaron muy poco en hacerlas y estaban riquísimas Os recomendamos la de boletus pero estaban todas riquísimas. El tamaño my bueno y relación calidad precio muy buena Nos gustó mucho

Nice café next to a beautiful beach. What more could you ask for? 🙂

Bit of an out of the way place with a lovely beach and surf bar. Pity the red flags were flying as it was very windy so we couldn't go swimming.

Great service, great pizza...best view of the old art deco swim harbour. Loved it.

We sat down at a table and were quite quick, from the other side of the terrace, 'attended' with "do you have a reservation"? No, we didn't, and had to read from his face that this was not appreciated. We were told to take a seat at another table and that we would have to wait a bit, "of course, no problem". We never saw his face again. After 15 minutes a very kind waitress came with a thousand apologies, sorry for waiting so long and everything else (everything else?), super sympathetic, an angel. We ordered a Fanta, portion de croquettes and a portion gambas a la plancha. Drink was served pretty much immediately and the croquettes 10 minutes. After having enjoyed them, they were delicious, came the gambas, perfectly timed. Half of the gambas were as delicious as de croquettes, but the second half most of them were raw and left on the plate. Our adorable waitress apologised, clearly embarrassed, "don't worry, not your responsibility". She said her superior would take care of the bill. You would think that a disappointment like this is handled with care, but we had to wait another 20 minutes for the superior with a simple "sorry" and a poor discount of only 4 euro . You lost a customer, ordering not even my morning coffees there anymore. After an experience like we had today you're simply not costly, but too expensive.

Nice place staff not very friendly

Normal

(Translated by Google) The price per person, for regular portions, averages €25/€30. On this first visit, I didn't want to eat anything too heavy, so I can only praise the mixed salad and the squid afuegaos. Spectacular. The service was also great. I stopped by without a reservation to ask if I could sit down for lunch, and even though I had to leave before the 3 p.m. appointment, I enjoyed it like a champion. Very friendly, attentive, and the food was delicious, with competitive prices for a restaurant in a beach area. Highly recommended 😉 (Original) El precio por persona, comiendo raciones normales, es en promedio 25 / 30 €. En esta primera ocasión no quise comer nada demasiado pesado así que solo puedo valorar la ensalada mixta y los chipirones afuegaos. Espectaculares. El servicio también genial. Me pasé sin tener reserva a preguntar si podría sentarme a comer y, aunque tenía que abandonar la mesa antes del turno de las 15 disfruté como un campeón. Vamos, muy amables, atentos y muy rica la comida, con precios competitivos para ser un local en zona de playa. Recomendadísimo 😉
