Main Attractions Tourism in Asturias
Natural tourism resources are those elements of nature (mountains, rivers, beaches, flora, fauna, etc …) that a series of circumstances (its uniqueness, its location, good condition,) can serve as a lure to a destination.
As noted in the introduction Aviles no natural tourism resources, which paradoxically are the main attraction of tourism in Asturias, which has been a cause in the delay experienced by the tourism in this city.
There are two reasons for this lack of natural resources tour in Oviedo, the small size of the town (just over 25 square kilometers) and that such space is almost entirely urbanized.
Perhaps the only exception is the Riau de Aviles. We say perhaps, because the river is a natural element but over the centuries has undergone countless changes in their size and environment that make this place practically created by man.
Regardless of whether or not it is considered the Riau de Aviles category of natural tourism resources, the fact that its waters and its environment are becoming one of the main attractions of Aviles.
The walk through part of the layout of the estuary, the sculptures that adorn the marina or the Niemeyer Center is being built around them get more visitors.
Moreover, in recent years are recovering the tradition of nautical testing in the Riau de Aviles (rowing boats, canoeing and sailing), so this space is helping to boost tourism activity in Aviles, providing an alternative to the proposed tourism culture that this city offers.
