Dan Perez Images | Playa de Peñarronda: A Breathtaking Natural Monument in Asturias, Spain

This is a persevering with sequence of images from our Galicia Road Trip (with just a few stops in Asturias) this previous August.

In my final put up, we visited the picturesque fishing port of Cudillero, thought-about Northern Spain’s most stunning village. And on this put up, we go to Playa de Peñarronda, Northern Spain’s most stunning seaside? Well, we solely visited one seaside in Asturias and our opinion is likely to be contested by the locals but it surely simply might need been probably the most stunning seaside we’ve ever visited.
 

Playa de Peñarronda

 
Playa de Peñarronda is a wide ranging white sandy seaside a mere 6 minute drive from our hotel whose pure values have led it to be declared a Natural Monument. The seaside stretches roughly 600 meters lengthy and is nestled between the excessive cliffs of La Robaleira and Punta del Corno headlands, forming peninsulas on both aspect of the seaside.
 

 
Having missed out on the bought out (and much more in style) Playa de las Catedrales, Peñarronda Beach was greater than only a appropriate comfort prize. The “Pedra Castelo”, a rounded promontory within the middle of the seaside that offers the seaside its title (“round rock”), is accessible at low tide and has a cavity in its middle that permits guests to stroll from one aspect to the opposite.
 
The seaside additionally incorporates a small eatery by the parking zone known as Peñarronda Playa Chiringuito that gives up “Bocatas” (sandwiches) that have been unbelievably good. I imply, if this sandwich joint have been positioned in NYC, there’d be a line two blocks lengthy throughout lunchtime to purchase one. If you ever go to this outstanding seaside, make it a precedence to cease in for a sandwich. You can thank me afterwards.
 

 
Despite it being a partly cloudy day (which was effective by us), Playa de Peñarronda was a type of seashores that simply left us in awe. A seaside like this in nearly some other a part of Europe in August can be overrun with vacationers. Here in Asturias? Uncrowded, peaceable, clear, and a pleasure to stroll. It was a recurring theme of our journey to Galicia (and Asturias): gorgeous pure magnificence unspoilt by mass tourism. At least not but. Here’s the gallery – you may also watch a brief video made by Dan Perez Films (my higher half!) HERE

In my subsequent put up, we head again over to Galician soil and start our descent south to the Province of Ourense – however not earlier than a cease in one other one in every of Spain’s most stunning cities, Mondoñedo – so SUBSCRIBE HERE to not miss it.All images taken with the Xiaomi 13 UltraFor extra details about visiting Asturias, go to the official tourism website
