Ribadesella

Coastal town

Ribadesella (Asturian: Ribeseya) is a small 84-square-kilometre (32 mi2) municipality in the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias, Spain. Known for its location on the Cantabrian Sea, at the outlet of the River Sella, Ribadesella is located near the Picos de Europa and serves as a gateway to the region. It is bordered on the east by Llanes, on the south by Cangas de Onís and Parres, and on the west by Caravia. Queen Letizia of Spain has family ties to Ribadesella, although she was born in Oviedo.

On the first weekend of August, the International Sella River Descent takes place; kayakers from all over the world gather here to attempt the final 20 kilometres (12.4 miles) of the Sella River in record time. The town is also known for its prehistoric cave, known as the Cave of Tito Bustillo, which is open to visitors during scheduled seasons and with limited access. Ribadesella is often visited for its history, sport activities, scenery, natural amenities, and food.
