Salinas

Salinas is a parish stretching across the northern part of Castrillon municipality in Asturias, situated near the Cantabrian Sea. The settlement sits at a low elevation and connects naturally with neighboring communities in the area.

Salinas took shape as a parish through administrative reorganizations that reshaped the territory of Asturias over time. These structural changes established the boundaries and organization that define the community today.

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel shapes the religious and festive calendar for locals. Community members gather around this spiritual center for celebrations that mark important moments in their shared life.

The parish is easily reached by connecting through neighboring settlements that form part of the greater Castrillon area. Visitors should note that the region observes Central European Time, which helps with planning any activities or meetings.

The settlement sits among the northernmost points of mainland Spain, making it a special location for those exploring the top of the country. This far-northern position gives it a distinctive character that few other Spanish communities share.
