The '''Cares''' is a river in Northern Spain that flows through the autonomous communities of [[Asturias]] and [[León (province)|León]] until it joins the [[Deva River]] and flows into the [[Atlantic Ocean]] at the [[Bay of Biscay]]. It forms the Tina Mayor estuary, 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]]. A trekking path, "[[Cares Trail|Ruta del Cares]]", runs along the river. The stream is also known for the quality of its [[salmon]].
The Cares river is joined by the [[Deva River|Deva river]]. Many companies rent [[kayak]]s to descend both rivers. [[Kayaking]] is popular here during the summer.
