Over 1,000 canoeists paddling like mad down a scenic Asturian river - think the Boat Race on steroids - roared on by thousands of tourists and locals (many in fancy dress), with a giant picnic full of authentic fare awaiting at the finish line. Sound like fun? Well then come to luxury hotel Cangas de Onís for the first Saturday of August and experience the Descenso Internacional del Sella, one of the world's quirkiest sporting events, in all its glory!
