Playa de Portizuelo

The 220-meter-long Portizuelo Beach features a stony shoreline with pebbles, bordered by mountainous terrain and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The beach contains the notable rock formation Piedra El Óleo, which attracted Nobel Prize winner Severo Ochoa during his frequent visits to the coastal area.

Local painters have documented the coastal landscapes of Portizuelo through numerous artworks, capturing the natural formations and maritime elements of the region.

Visitors can access the beach through two routes: a steep track from Villar leading to an ancient cetárea or a direct path from Barcia to the meadow.

The beach holds dual environmental protection status as both a Special Protection Area and a Site of Community Importance, safeguarding its ecological systems.
