About Llanes

Llanes is a charming Asturian coastal town with a well-preserved medieval old quarter, a colourful harbour, and nearby beaches. The Cubos de la Memoria, painted concrete blocks by artist Agustin Ibarrola at the harbour entrance, are a distinctive landmark.

Pilgrims will find albergues, hotels, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, ATMs, and a pharmacy. Llanes is known for its cider houses (sidrerias) where Asturian cider is poured from height in the traditional manner.

The town has a train station on the FEVE narrow-gauge line. Llanes is one of the most pleasant overnight stops on the Asturian section of the Norte.

SightWalk the Paseo de San PedroA clifftop walking path that follows the coast east from the harbour, with views over hidden coves, crashing waves, and the green hills behind the town. The path is about 1 km each way and is one of the finest short coastal walks in Asturias. On a clear day, the contrast between the turquoise water, the white sand in the coves below, and the green clifftops is extraordinary. Walk it at sunset for the best light.

SightSee the Cubos de la MemoriaThe concrete cubes along the harbour wall, painted by Basque artist Agustin Ibarrola in vivid colours and bold geometric patterns, have become the most recognisable image of Llanes. The cubes were originally breakwater blocks; the art transformed them into a public gallery on the edge of the sea. The installation is best seen from the harbour wall or from the Paseo de San Pedro above.

RelaxationVisit the BeachesThe coast around Llanes has dozens of beaches and coves, many hidden between rocky headlands. Playa de Toro, just west of town, has dramatic rock formations rising from the sand. Playa del Sablon is the town beach, small and sheltered. For the adventurous, Playa de Gulpiyuri (a short detour off the Camino) is a tiny inland beach fed by the sea through an underground cave system. The beaches are the great attraction of the Llanes coastline and several are accessible on foot…

HistoryExplore the Old TownThe medieval centre of Llanes retains sections of its original defensive walls, several tower houses, and the Basilica de Santa Maria del Conceyu, a Gothic church with a fine rose window. The narrow streets are full of traditional shops, bars, and restaurants. The harbour area is the social centre of the town, particularly in the evening when the restaurants fill and the light fades over the sea. Llanes has a lived-in quality that feels genuinely Asturian rather than…

FoodEat Fresh FishLlanes is a fishing town and the seafood is excellent. The harbour restaurants serve the daily catch grilled, fried, or in caldeirada (fish stew). The local sidra (Asturian cider) is the natural accompaniment to everything. You are now deep in Asturias, the cider country of Spain. Order a bottle, watch the waiter pour it from height, and drink it in a single gulp. The ritual is as important as the taste.
