Luarca
An Asturian fishing port known as the 'white town on the Green Coast'. Colourful fishing boats, white houses, a clifftop lighthouse and a seaside cemetery make up a picture-perfect harbour.
Luarca is built along the mouth of the Negro River. The harbour is full of colourful fishing boats, and small bridges and white houses are stacked closely together. Walk up the path to the Atalaya viewpoint to see the lighthouse, a small chapel and an old cemetery facing the sea, where Nobel Prize laureate Severo Ochoa is buried. Harbour restaurants serve Asturian seafood and cider. It is about 50 km from Ribadeo, roughly 40 minutes by car.
