Clarin's Route - a perfect blend of Nature and Literature

Quinta Clarín in Guaimarán

For more than forty years Clarin spent his summers at his country house Quinta de la Rebollada in Guaimarán, a parish of the Carreño Municipality at the center of the Asturian Cantabrian coast. The meadows, country houses and the people of Carreño were inmortalized in many pages of the illustrous writer's short stories and novels. Even in La Regenta, nearby seaside town Candás is "Palomares", where she spends the summer.

The route is made up of three sections linked to three short stories: Doña Berta (Candás-Piedeloro), A Round Trip (Guamirán-Logrezana) and Boroña (Guaimarán-Prendes). Along the routes you can stop and read passages mirroring the surroundings. It is a perfect opportunity for students interested in Spanish literature to "live" what they have previously read or heard about, while enjoying the lush green landscapes.
