The Principality of Asturias is a single-province autonomous community located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, bathed to the north by the Cantabrian Sea, is located next to other communities with great coasts and beaches such as Galicia and Cantabria. It is a community that has the privilege of being able to enjoy both the mountains and the coast at the same time. It has numerous natural enclaves, some of them protected under different figures, as is the case of the national park of Picos de Europa, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve.
The 5 most beautiful beaches in Asturias
Most of the beaches in this province are surrounded by mountains, creating an environment of green vegetation essential to give its Asturian touch. Thus, it also receives the name of Costa Verde, which alludes to the green color of the fields that continues to the beaches, which contrasts with what we find in other more southern areas of beaches. It is a coastline of almost 350 kilometers steep with cliffs, but at the same time with extensive sandy beaches and coves that are worth visiting. The most charming coastal towns are Cudillero, Gijón, Llanes, Ribadesella, Luarca, Luanco and Candás. Despite being a province located in the north, Asturias has nothing to envy to other places that seem to have a better reputation for its beaches.
Beach of Gulpiyuri, Llanes
Despite not being very extensive, it is one of the most beautiful and curious beaches of the whole community. It is an inland beach with no direct exit to the sea, with a subway water inlet, surrounded by cliffs and green agricultural meadows which can only be accessed by walking from the San Antolin beach or from Naves.
Silencio Beach, Cudillero
Silencio Beach, also known as El Gavieru, is a paradisiacal beach that, not being located near a large population center, is not yet crowded and continues to be, despite its beauty, a semi unknown beach for tourists. Its name comes from the impressive cliffs and islets that protect the beach and make its waters are calm and quiet.
Cuevas del Mar Beach, Llanes
