Perched between the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian Sea, Llanes is Asturias’ go-to coastal escape, mixing mountain drama with golden beaches and a lively old town. If you’re here for boutique charm, the historic centre is packed with stylish stays perfect for couples. Families often head towards the quieter coves where friendly hotels keep things relaxed, while design lovers favour sleek boltholes near the marina.
Llanes is full of character, with a historic centre wrapped in medieval walls and dotted with Renaissance palaces like the Palacio de Gastanaga and the Duques de Estrada. A guided walking tour brings its rich heritage to life, from seafaring tales at the Maritime Exhibition Centre to the grand homes built by locals returning from the New World. Beyond the history, the setting is just as memorable. Golden beaches such as Cuevas del Mar, Toro, and Sablon are perfect for soaking up the sun, while the San Pedro Walk offers sweeping views over the coast. Adventurers can head into the Picos de Europa for hikes or mountain biking, or take scenic trips to nearby Ribadesella and Potes. However you spend your day, it’s easy to round it off with fresh local food and a relaxed evening back in Llanes.
