Where to stay in Llanes

The town. It keeps part of its walls, the basilica of Santa María del Concejo and the harbour, where the Cubos de la Memoria by Agustín Ibarrola stand. It is a good fit if you want to get around on foot with restaurants and the train close by.

Nearby villages. Part of the accommodation is in villages such as Poo or Cué, a short distance from the town and close to the coast. They suit you if you are driving and want the beach without sleeping in the centre.

A base for the mountains. If you plan to combine coast and Picos de Europa, Llanes works as a base. Bear in mind that the municipality lives mainly from summer tourism: that is when it receives most visitors and when it pays to book earlier.

The municipality is large: it has 28 parishes and about 13,500 inhabitants, of whom about 4,000 live in the town. Check the map on each listing to see how far it is from the centre and from the beach you are interested in. The main festivals in the town are La Magdalena, San Roque and La Guía.

Getting there

Llanes has a station on the narrow-gauge Oviedo–Santander line, with regional trains to both cities; the Oviedo–Llanes service also ends here. The station opened in 1905 and lies between Poo and San Roque del Acebal. Apart from those trains, a car is the practical way to get around the beaches and villages.
