The most beautiful towns in Asturias

Llanes

This is a fishing village that evokes the essence of Asturias like few others. Picturesque where they exist, it has a beautiful port. In addition, its old town is declared a Historic-Artistic Site, so it is more than a beach place to spend the summer.

The beauty of its waters and its natural environment combine perfectly with the medieval airs that its buildings reflect. A town full of charm and beauty and, therefore, one of the most beautiful towns in Asturias.

Ribadesella

Ribadesella is a fishing village that, like Llanes, has as its protagonists the sea and its picturesque and beautiful port. Be sure to visit its old town, where you can immerse yourself in Asturian tradition: cider houses and typical taverns where they serve the best delicacies in the area.

As an essential place in this beautiful town, we recommend the Tito Bustillo cave, a perfect representation of Spanish rock art. And remember that if the name of Ribadesella sounds familiar to you, it is because of its famous International Descent of the Sella, in which if you are one of the most adventurous you can participate.

The three

This town seen from above is a beauty that cannot be described in words. The harmony in the construction of its white buildings combines masterfully with the green of its surroundings and the intense blue of its waters. A landscape descending a hill that you will never be able to forget.

Get lost in its streets, although yes, they are full of slopes, but it will be worth it. Above all, it reaches the highest part and to get to know the hermitage of San Roque, which is more than a religious temple, it is the highest point from which to have the best views of the landscape.

Cangas de Onís

Not all the most beautiful towns in Asturias are on the coast. This is the case of Cangas de Onís. Here you will enjoy its wonderful Roman bridge. Declared a National Monument, in it you will see the Cruz de la Victoria, emblem of the Principality of Asturias.

Do not forget to ascend to the Enol lakes from where you will have the best panoramic view of the Picos de Europa! And, of course, you must visit the famous Sanctuary of Covadonga.

Cudillero

This town owes its beauty to its amphitheater shape and its privileged location at the foot of a cliff over which its houses seem to be sliding. In fact, one of the main accesses for many of them are stairs that go up the mountain.

The raging water of the Cantabrian Sea breaks into a slope that forms the beginning and end of the town by the sea and embellishes the landscape of whitewashed houses with details of paint in different colors. Do not forget to walk through its streets and enjoy some of its best restaurants.

And of course, in Cudillero there are also buildings of interest. You must visit the chapel of the Humiliated and the church of San Pedro.

Castropol

It has a beautiful monumental complex with beautiful houses and palaces. And also, it is located in a privileged environment, to the right of the Eo estuary. Among its most beautiful beaches we must highlight that of Peñarronda, an idyllic enclave for surf lovers.

In its traditional Corpus Christi festival, its streets are dressed in carpets with colored petals and painted wood sawdust. A show you have to see!

Taramundi

We can’t think of a better corner than this to conclude our list of the most beautiful towns in Asturias. Very close to the Galician border, this town has water as its main element. Water that moves mills and that has become the biggest claim for rural tourism in the region.

Its rivers and waterfalls, as well as the forests that surround it and its traditional houses make it a postcard landscape. In Taramundi, you can also enjoy a wonderful ethnographic museum. Do not miss it!
