Llanes is a
municipality on the coast of Asturias. It is part of the Costa Verde, or Green
Coast that is famous for having spectacular coastline scenery. Llanes boasts 32
gorgeous beaches all with fine, white sand. Its green background is provided for
by many rolling hills.
Llanes is
also the name of the capital of the municipality. It is an active fishing port
even today and a very popular holiday destination for the rest of Spain in the
summer who come up to the North to escape the heat of the South. It has many
good restaurants and bars and the ‘zona de copas’ or ‘zone of the glasses’ is
always a great choice for a drink before dinner.
We took the
bus from Oviedo and after 1h20m we were already walking the streets of this
pretty seaside town. I absolutely loved the distinctive, colourful and well
maintained houses in the old town.
The port is
a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
The town
boasts three beaches and we went to see all of them.
Playa de Sablón
This is the
main beach of the Llanes and located in the city centre. It has a perfect shell
shape and the white sand goes on in front of you for 100m.
Playa de
Puertu Chicu
This was my
favourite beach in Llanes.
Playa de Toró
This beach
lies to the right of the city centre for a few minutes walk. The water is full
of dark pinnacles with interesting formations. There’s a well-positioned
campsite nearby and a restaurant where all the tables in the garden face the
beach.
Next to
Playa de Sablón there’s a lovely grass-covered walk, the Paseo de San Pedro.
There’s even a viewpoint at the end and from here you have a great view of
Llanes, the surrounding coastline and the bordering mountains.
