Llanes

Llanes (pronounced "Yan-ness") was an unexpected gem. It is not much more than a fishing village on the Asturian coast, and we stopped there only because we spent the night nearby and the hotel owner told us that we should see it. There was a very picturesque medieval town, and an old harbor with a seawall looking out towards the ocean.

The oldest house in town.

A charming window scene.

Remains of a tower from the medieval town walls.

We couldn't resist: outside of Llanes was a small village with this evocative name.
