The Cares is a river in Northern Spain, flowing through the Autonomous Communities of Asturias and León until it joins the Deva River and flows into the Atlantic Ocean, in the Bay of Biscay, where it forms the Tina Mayor estuary which is the natural border between Asturias and Cantabria.
The Cares is known because of the narrow and spectacular canyon it forms when passing the Picos de Europa, being one of the most remarkable Asturian geographical attractions. It is also known because of the quality of its salmons.
