The Llanes council presents a route that includes more than twenty destinations , all locations where over 40 scenes from 15 feature films and two television series were shot. One of the possible itineraries of this cinematic Llanes begins in the town itself with a film by González Suárez: " Parranda ." This feature film was shot in 1977 in locations such as El Cercáu and the Casa de la Cultura (House of Culture).

Without leaving the town, this overview of films shot in Llanes takes us to the San Pedro promenade, where another frequent Llanes filmgoer, Garci, filmed several scenes for " Historia de un beso" (Story of a Kiss) . He also filmed in the Plaza de Parres Sobrino, which also featured scenes from other films such as J.A. Bayona's " El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and the series " Los jinetes del Alba" (The Riders of Dawn) . Before leaving the town center, we can visit the port: Juan de Orduña's " Porque te vi llorar" (Because I Saw You Cry) was the first feature film shot in the town. The walking tour ends at Toró beach , the backdrop for sequences such as George Sluizer's " La Balsa de Piedra" (The Stone Raft ) , Garci's " El Abuelo" (The Grandfather), Suárez's " El Detective y la muerte" (The Detective and Death) , and " Aoom . "

Another route can be taken from the town of Cué, passing through the eastern and southern parts of the municipality and ending in Pancar. Fans of Gonzalo Suárez's films may recall scenes from " El Portero" in the chapel of Cué; " El detective y la muerte" on Ballota beach; or " Mi nombre es sombra" on the municipal golf course.

Feature films like " You Are the One" or " El Abuelo ," by José Luis Garci, provide a good excuse to visit the village of Purón or the blowholes of Arenillas, in Vidiago. A must-see is also the village of La Borbolla, where Gutiérrez Aragón filmed " El corazón del bosque ," and the Ancares Palace in Pancar, where magnificent scenes from " Pasiones Rotas" were filmed.

Llanes on Film offers another tour of the central, eastern, and southern areas of the municipality, returning to the town of Llanes, specifically to the Partarríu manor house , the emblematic location where the action of " The Orphanage" takes place . Earlier in this filmography, we will have visited the beaches of Borizu (Rowing with the Wind and You Are the One), Barro (The Doorman and The Lady), Cuevas del Mar (You Are the One); Poo (The Orphanage and Story of a Kiss); the Niembro cemetery (The Lady series, The Grandfather, and Epilogue); the bufones of Pría (The Lady); Posada and Lledías (The Grandfather, Story of a Kiss, and Epilogue); Meré (Stone Raft and The Riders of Dawn); El Mazucu (Stone Raft); and La Pereda (The Riders of Dawn).

In addition to major audiovisual works, Llanes is the setting for continuous filming of commercials : cars, canned goods, nougat, soft drinks, mobile phones, perfumes… Advertisers also choose this privileged setting as the perfect showcase for all kinds of filming for commercial purposes.
