The best views of Asturias in webcamsdeasturias.com

La Griega is a delta-shaped island approximately 800 meters long . Aside from its stunning beauty, La Griega is an open-air museum. Here you'll find sauropod dinosaur footprints measuring 125 centimeters in diameter, the largest discovered in the world to date . These footprints are easily visible, as they are clearly marked. At the bottom of the island lies a vast rocky area that serves as a fishing ground for dozens of locals.

Adjacent to La Griega beach lies Lastres beach and the fishing village perched above it, literally hanging over the sea. This latter stretch of sand is about 350 meters long and is also known as Estilleru beach. Its proximity to the village of Lastres gives it a double appeal, as after a refreshing swim, a relaxing stroll is always welcome, especially if it allows you to discover one of the most beautiful villages in Asturias. From the village of Lastres itself, there are numerous promontories from which to continue enjoying the sea views.

Colunga is a great place to enjoy water sports . The fishing and sports port of Lastres offers opportunities for sailing, surfing, and windsurfing, as well as spearfishing near Cape Lastres.
