Playa de Los Molinos de Barcia
Playa de Los Molinos de Barcia, Protected beach in Barcia, Spain
The 250-meter coastline of Playa de Los Molinos de Barcia contains dark sand mixed with pebbles beneath high cliffs facing the Cantabrian Sea.
The beach received its name from the old water mills that operated using the Ricante stream, which continues to flow directly into the shoreline.
The region belongs to the Comarca Vaqueira, where nomadic cattle herders known as vaqueiros de alzada developed specific traditions through centuries.
Access requires a 500-meter walk from nearby villages, and visitors should check tide schedules as rising waters affect beach accessibility.
A waterfall cascades directly onto the beach, creating a natural meeting point between fresh mountain water and the Cantabrian Sea.
