Very beautiful place
Con
The housing development since the early 1980s is atrocious and unforgivable.
In a nutshell
Asturias itself
garridogal Says: Without a doubt the seaside at Llanes is unforgettable! It's beauty will move you and you'll find yourself taking many, many photos of it. We walked along the seawall and marvel led at its beauty. I tried but could not control the powerful envy of those whose homes line this...
Basilica de Santa Maria y Plaza de Christo Rey
garridogal Says: On a very sweet plaza, de Christo Rey, is the basilica de Santa Maria. We walked by it as a group of seniors were exiting it. It's lovely spot to photograph the local architecture and take in the atmosphere.
bonio Says: Spent the day just exploring the town centre on foot, just some photos..Visit the tourist office in the tower just off Alfonso IX
bonio Says: Must be a good place for a summer beach holiday, enjoyed a walk by the sea in November ourselves, some serious waves to avoid!
bonio Says: I never did decide how the lock guarding the entrance worked! An ejoyable hour os hoping a boat would arrive or depart, no luck!
debtravers Says: We wandered over to the narrow cobbled streets of the old town in the evenings and had a good choice of bars for a pre-dinner drink plus plenty of restaurants offering very good value 'fixed price menus'. Restaurants here tended to get busy with diners after 9pm or later and...
MelanieBee Says: What an interesting range of neighbours you can find in Llanes! Traditional houses, modern flats, new complexes under construction, and right next door?
supermediania Says: A few km from LLanes there is Colombres. There is the Indiano's Museum. In Asturias, we call Indianos the people who go to America: Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. And when they get old they return as rich people to Asturias and they build that kind of houses.If you go...
supermediania Says: These are Ibarrola's Cubes , he is an artis from Vasque Country who Paint the cubes of the port , and it is now a tourist atraction here in LLanes.

PENSIÓN LA GUÍA: Comfortable pension
bonio Says: Right in the town centre, a short walk to the bus and rail stops, an ideal place for us.Very comfortable top floor room for us, stairs could be a problem for some.Enjoyed our short stay here.
El Campanu: Ladies Lunch in Llanes
garridogal Says: We asked a shopkeeper for a restaurant recommendation and she sent us to El Campanu. Like we did in most restaurants, we asked for El Menu del Dia (the menu of the day). We always found those to be a good deal. We had some amazing chorizo en sidra (chorizo cooked in cider)...
bonio Says: As we often do, one night was spent moving fom cafe to cafe with a snack in each. Lovely way to spend time."Thumbs up" to - Bar Colon, Uria, Xana and Bitacora all enjoyable.
bonio Says: A cold and wet evening in Llanes and this pizza restaurant just up the road, choice made!Part of the Los Molinos hotel.Busy when we arrived, a good sign, and not disappointed with our pizzas, helped down by a tasty rioja. Mrs B very happy with profiteroles...
The drive along the coast from Cantabria to Llanes provides many dramatic and breathtaking vistas of the coast and the mountains.
This is a view from the town itself, showing the close proximity of the Picos.

Local favourite drink is a still, dry and strong (around 6%) cider. It's very tasty and easy to drink but be careful it creeps up on you!
Here's Mrs Bonio enjoying herself.

hopefully so, because unlike in other parts of Spain, not everyone (or maybe not anyone?) speaks any/much english. So unless you like looking like a complete berk, learn the basics before you go! If you can order food and book a room and ask directions you should be ok!

I love visiting supermarkets while traveling overseas. Since we were renting a house, we had plenty of excuses to visit them in Asturias.
Anyone who's visited Spain knows how much Spaniards love their jamon (ham). The potato chips, flavored with it, is a new addition since my last visit to this country in 1993.
And in case you're wondering, we did try them and they were good. I only tried one but I could imagine really getting into them while drinking beer. Oink.

Colorful Homes and beautiful plazas
garridogal Says: All over Asturias homes are painted in beautiful and sometimes questionable colors. I think I loved all the colorful homes we saw, even the lime green ones. I mean... why not???I also loved all the plazas I saw. The colors and the arches.... all so lovely!
asturnut Says: Take a walk on the promenade in Llanes, then have a nice lunch and do some shopping in town. It's just lovely place to relax and take in the ocean; the view is spectacular, even on a bad day. This is a good place for a romantic stroll.
asturnut Says: Llanes has the most wonderful view of the coastline. I have some nice photos, I will try to scan more soon. There is a great view of one side of the city and of the ocean from the promenade. All along the cliffs here grow beautiful wildlflowers such as clove scented stock...

As you could see on the photo. Asturias the State where I live is a place where you could go to the sea and turn backwards and see the mountains. Very beautiful, isn't it?
Two nights in town for us, as the photos show it was very wet and cold, still an enjoyable visit for us. A comfortable pension, some eating places and a walk around town to mention. Here's what we...
This part of the northern coast of Spain is stunningly beautiful and is certainly deserving of its title 'Costa Verde' - so be prepared for rain, at any time of the year! There is 145 km of coastline...
