Bufones de Pría, Natural blowhole formation near Llames, Spain
The limestone cliffs contain multiple openings where seawater erupts through cracks, creating powerful water jets that reach considerable heights during high tide.
The continuous action of the Cantabrian Sea against the coastal limestone cliffs has created these geological formations through centuries of natural erosion.
The Spanish name 'bufones', meaning jesters, reflects the local perception of these formations due to the whistling sounds produced by water and air movement.
Visitors can access the site via a 20-minute walk from the parking area in Llames de Pría, with the best viewing conditions occurring during high tide.
The water jets from these geological formations can reach heights of several meters when waves crash against the cliff face during strong maritime conditions.
