Enter a hidden paradise: the hidden garden of Fonte Baxa.
Discover the garden step by step
Fonte Baxa is a unique, living garden, full of nuance. A journey through botanical history, landscape art, and the passion of those who have lovingly cared for it over decades. Our guided tour is the best way to truly understand, experience and feel it.
What’s in store for you?
A natural and emotional journey
More than 20 hectares of gardens, pathways and soulful corners. A changing landscape that shifts with the seasons, where every step offers a fresh perspective.
Stories you won’t see at first glance
We’ll guide you to discover not only the plant species, but also the anecdotes, curiosities and choices that have shaped Fonte Baxa.
A sensory experience
Colours, textures, scents. The tour is a complete immersion in the beauty of the surroundings, led by those who know its history best.
And if you want to extend your plan, you can add a picnic under the trees, enjoy a group 'espicha' (traditional gathering), or sign up for our workshops. Always in touch with nature, always with local flavor.
How to get to Fonte Baxa?
Visiting Fonte Baxa is a unique experience—and getting here can be part of the journey. There are several easy ways to reach us, each with its own charm. However, please note that car access is limited and parking options are very scarce. That’s why we recommend these alternatives:
From the beach, walking along the trail
One of the most pleasant ways to arrive is by walking from Luarca beach car park. There, you will find clearly visible wooden steps leading to a path surrounded by nature.
At the end of the path, on the left, you’ll see a wooden gate and, just behind it, a traditional Asturian granary (panera). That is our main access for guided tours.
It's important to note this, because right next to the gate there’s another entrance with turnstiles that does not belong to Fonte Baxa and might be confusing if you're not aware.
Just look for the panera and the wooden gate… and you’ll know you’re in the right place.
From the town, walking or driving up through La Peña
You can also come up from the town, either on foot or by car, through the La Peña neighbourhood. If you're driving, the best place to park is at Plaza de la Vicha, which is the closest and most accessible option.
By taxi
Another convenient option is taking a taxi directly to Fonte Baxa’s main entrance. It’s especially practical if you don’t want to worry about parking.
