Llanes, Spain

Llanes Spain

Llanes is a municipality in the province of Asturias. To the south it is bordered by the high limestone ridge of the Sierra del Cuera, which rises to over 1,100 meters. The area is part of Spain’s Costa Verde (Green Coast), known for its spectacular coastal scenery, with 32 white-sand beaches and mountains covered in deep green vegetation. Llanes has the character of a historic town. Its old quarter has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site and preserves important examples of civil, religious, and military architecture. The San Pedro Walk, San Antón, the Carrocedo River, and the port are the main focal points of life in Llanes, once an important fishing and whaling port. Among its historic structures are more than 300 meters of 13th‑century pre-Romanesque wall, and the Castle Tower, which now houses the Tourist Office.
