Llanes has become a leading tourist destination in the Principality of Asturias. Its unusual density of beaches and its proximity to the Cantabrian Mountains make it an ideal place for nature tourism.
The capital of the municipality, the vibrant town of Llanes , is the urban center of a vast, rural territory that stretches parallel to the Cantabrian Sea. The sea permeates every corner of this town, bestowing a maritime flavor amidst a mix of old and new buildings, stately homes with Indiano heritage, modern squares, historic plazas, seaside promenades, ports, beaches, and a wide array of shops, restaurants, and tourist accommodations.
