The Costa Verde east of Gijon
The Costa Verde east of Gijon
By car, 152 km, 1 dayThe Costa Verde gets its name from the colour of the sea and its shores green with eucalyptus and pine trees. This coast, one of the most beautiful in Spain, has the Cantabrian mountains and the Picos de Europa as a backdrop. From Gijón onwards, the landscape is a series of cliffs, beaches and fishing villages. San Vicente de la Barquera, at the end of your journey, embodies the quintessential Cantabrian coast, with its beaches, old village and breathtaking view of the Picos de Europa with their snowy peaks.

Gijón
Clinging to the mountain and identifiable by its belltower gable, the church of San Juan, which was transformed in the 18C, has kept its 13C portal and apse with elegant decoration.
Savour the wonderful view from this lookout point of the Picos de Europa and the Costa Verde.
The caves are famous for their wall paintings created between the Solutrean and Magdalenian ages (around 20,000 years BC). They includes pictures of animals: horses, deer, and reindeer, some 2 m long.
Llanes
This spa resort is attractive as a result of the originality of its location, its huge beach and its old houses. At the top of the hill, the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles is interesting. There is an attractive view of the village from the road to Unquera.
