Licensed building with renovation plans in Llanes’ historic district

The municipality of Llanes lies at the easternmost end of the Principality of Asturias, bordered to the north by the Cantabrian Sea and backed by the spectacular mountain range of the Sierra del Cuera. This unique proximity between sea and mountains gives it a geography of striking contrasts and lush green landscapes.

Its climate is temperate oceanic. Temperatures remain mild throughout the year, avoiding extreme cold in winter (with averages of 10°C to 12°C) and oppressive summer heat (rarely exceeding 24°C).

The town of Llanes is the capital of the municipality bearing its name. It retains the medieval layout of its cobbled streets, its monumental character and its enduring seafaring spirit. The most significant local festivities are La Magdalena (22 July), San Roque (16 August) and La Guía (8 September). During these celebrations, the capital’s streets fill with the traditional sound of the bagpipe and enthusiastic participants dressed in the striking traditional costume of Llanes.

The Llanes coastline stands out for the wild beauty of its more than 30 fine, white-sand beaches, spread along 56 kilometres of coast.

Llanes cuisine masterfully combines products from the sea and the mountains. Its typical cider houses and restaurants offer such essentials as fabada, Cantabrian fish and seafood, local cheeses and natural cider served in the traditional escanciado style.

As for transport links, Llanes is a 40-minute drive along the A-8 from Santander Airport and one hour from Asturias Airport.
