Spain is famous for its friendly inhabitants, relaxed lifestyle, its cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous folklore and festivities, and its history as the core of the vast Spanish Empire. The most popular beaches are the ones along the Mediterranean coast and on the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, for hiking, the mountains of Sierra Nevada in the south, the Central Cordillera and the northern Pyrenees are the best places. Historically, Spain has been an important crossroads: between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between North Africa and Europe, and as Europe began colonizing the New World, between Europe and the Americas. As such, the country is blessed with a fantastic collection of historical landmarks. The Spanish are very passionate about their cuisine, based on great food and wine. Spanish food can be described as quite light with a lot of vegetables and a huge variety of meat and fish.

Principality of Asturias

According to a very popular and well-ingrained saying, Luarca is the white town on the green coast. The first thing to catch your eye is the white colour of this illustrious village. It is undoubtedly the whitest of the entire Asturian coast.

If you arrive in Luarca in the area of Villar, you can take a tour of the residences of those Asturians who emigrated to the Indies and returned with a fortune, the Indian style architecture homes. As you walk through the watchtower you will see where the natives met to light the fires and guide the ships before building the lighthouse at the tip of Focicón in 1862.
You can also admire its cemetery on a hill. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Spain due to its spectacular sea views.
