I bought a handcrafted knife from one of the workshops recommended by our chauffeur. This part of Asturias is completely different from the areas we'd already visited – much quieter and wonderfully authentic.

We really enjoyed the Watermill Museum. It was fascinating and well presented. It's a long day because of the distance, but our chauffeur made the journey very pleasant. We'd definitely book it again.

A great experience overall, although the museum was closed due to its seasonal opening hours, which we hadn't realised beforehand. It's worth checking before your visit, but everything else was excellent.
