A trip along the western coast of Asturias will allow you to get to know quaint sea ports, and landscapes where the high, vertical cliffs will seduce you.
• Cudillero is one of the most typical fishing towns of Asturias, is well worth a visit, its houses forming an amphitheatre facing the sea.
• The Selgas Family Mansion is also the centre for the Selgas Foundation, where we can find Works of art by Goya, Tiziano and El Greco.
• The tradition of the ‘vaqueiros’, travelling cowboys, from the sea port to the high pastures.
• Cabo Vidio, where the most beautiful views of the Asturian coast can be encountered, is also home to the oldest human remains in Asturias of the early paleolithic period.
• Luarca, known as “The White town of the green coast”. It is a fishing village with a whaling tradition, and overlooks the sea from a steep slope. Heading towards the lighthouse, we can visit La Atalaya, an old whaling watch-tower, where we can also see the cemetery, one of the oldest and finest in Asturias. Severo Ochoa, a Nobel prize winner, was born here.
• The Sea Centre, where we can see an exhibition of the biggest squids of the world.
