Just got back last week from a week in Asturias. Mostly climbing, but managed a few short rides, including one up to Sotres. We were staying in the hilariously named (for the kids :) ) Poo de Cabrales, pretty much right at the base of the climb that was featured in Stage 15 of last years Vuelta (http://www.lavuelta.com/la-vuelta/2015/es/etapa-15.html). It turned out to be one beautiful view after another. Pretty mild grades for most of it until the last ramps before the village. My only regret is not having enough time to go up to the col and then loop around back to the village.

Also, tons of wide gravel tracks switchbacking up slopes and valleys for next time.
