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 road by the house is the starting point for the "Ruta del Cares":

The Cares is known because of the narrow and spectacular canyon it forms when passing the Asturian Massif, there is a famous trekking path known as "Ruta del Cares" that runs along the river, being one of the most remarkable Asturian geographical attractions.
