Formerly a significant fishing port and these days one of the most popular coastal resorts in the Asturias region of northern Spain, Llanes is a charming little town with some delightful tapas bars and seafood restaurants. It has the reputation of being one of the most dangerous ports in the north of Spain, as many ships were lost off this coast over the centuries, you can check out the maritime history of the town at the interesting Maritime Exhibition Centre. Be sure to visit the ‘Old Quarter’ of Llanes, here you will find the old town wall, the tower and the church dedicated to Mary Magdalene. In the fishing harbour, you can still watch fishing craft arriving with their daily catch, as this is still a working port. Map of Llanes.
