June is one of the best times of the year to explore Redes Natural Park. The forests are at their most vibrant, the days are long, and rural life unfolds at a slower, more rewarding pace. If you are staying at La Xamoca Rural Apartments from 5 to 7 June, you will have the opportunity to enrich your getaway with a selection of authentic local experiences that reveal the true character of this remarkable corner of Asturias.
Because Redes is much more than breathtaking landscapes. It is also a land of cheesemakers, beekeepers, traditional craftspeople and local communities who continue to live in close connection with nature.
Your weekend can begin by discovering one of the most fascinating traditional activities in the Asturian countryside. The local company A Tu Ruta offers "Beekeeper for a Day", an immersive experience that introduces visitors to the world of bees, the importance of pollination and the work of local honey producers.
It is an ideal activity for families, nature lovers and curious travellers looking to experience something different during their stay in Redes Natural Park.
When the day comes to an end, you will not need to travel far. Close to La Xamoca, Los Cabornos Restaurant will be hosting a special burger-themed evening, offering a relaxed and delicious way to finish the day.
Advance booking is essential for both the activity and dinner at Los Cabornos.
Some places reveal their true character when someone helps you understand the stories behind them.
On Saturday, A Tu Ruta presents "Raíces Casinas" (The Roots of Caso), an experience designed to explore the culture, traditions and heritage that have shaped the municipality of Caso over generations.
The experience includes:
A guided walk through the village of Veneros.
A visit to the Wood and Clog Museum.
A visit to a local cheese dairy, where visitors can discover one of Asturias' most iconic traditional products.
This experience offers a deeper understanding of how the landscape, traditional livelihoods and daily life have shaped a territory that today forms part of one of the most valuable protected natural areas in northern Spain.
Places are limited, so advance booking is strongly recommended.
If you still have a few hours before heading home, the Tanes Beekeeping Museum opens its doors on Sunday afternoon.
This small but fascinating museum provides an insight into the history of traditional beekeeping in Redes and shows how bees have played an important role in the rural life of these mountains for generations.
It is one of those hidden gems that helps visitors better understand the territory and perfectly complements a slow-paced getaway focused on authentic local experiences.
Between one experience and the next, there will always be time for what truly matters: enjoying Redes itself.
Walk one of its many hiking trails, wander through traditional mountain villages, admire the views from the terrace at La Xamoca, discover lesser-known corners of the valley or simply sit quietly and listen to the sounds of nature.
June is also an excellent time to enjoy the landscape in full bloom, with pleasant temperatures for walking and exploring some of the most authentic rural areas in Asturias.
Because sometimes the best travel experiences are not listed in any programme or itinerary. They simply happen when you find yourself in the right place.
And this weekend, Redes has plenty to offer.
If you would like to take part in any of the activities organised by A Tu Ruta, remember to book in advance to secure your place.
And if you are planning to enjoy the special burger evening at Los Cabornos Restaurant, we also recommend reserving a table ahead of time, as demand is expected to be high throughout the weekend.
La Xamoca can also be a gift! It is very easy: just tell us the details and we'll send you a beautiful gift voucher to surprise someone special.
