Llanes
Asturias's easternmost resort, a delightful seaside town crammed between the foothills of the Picos and a majestic stretch of coast.

Worth the trip
- The Basílica de Santa María, in plain Gothic style imported from southern France
- The Paseo de San Pedro, a walk atop a dramatic die-straight cliff with wonderful views
- Playa Ballota, 3km east, with its own spring water and a nudist stretch
Who it suits: Beach and cliff walkers
