Ḷḷuarca, Fishing port town on the Asturian coast, Spain.
The town stretches around an S-shaped harbor, with white houses cascading down the cliffs and seven bridges crossing the Negro River.
The Palace of the Marquis of Ferrera stands as a testament to the architectural evolution of Luarca from the 16th to the 19th century.
The traditional cider houses, known as chigres, maintain the local practice of pouring Asturian cider from a height into glasses.
The town cemetery, carved into coastal rocks, offers direct views of the sea and contains the tomb of Nobel laureate Severo Ochoa.
The Aula del Mar near the lighthouse functions as a marine zoology museum with an extensive collection of giant squid specimens.
