Playa de La Vallina, Protected beach in Cudillero, Spain

Playa de La Vallina, also called El Gallo, lies in the Asturian council of Cudillero, in the parish of Valdredo, on the western coast of Asturias. It is a very long beach with no direct access, bordered to the east by Playa de Cueva and to the west by Punta del Esquilón. It forms part of a protected landscape also designated a ZEPA and an LIC.

The sources record no mills or agricultural past for Playa de La Vallina. Its documented history is administrative: the beach, also called El Gallo, belongs to Valdredo in the council of Cudillero, on Asturias' western coast, and is listed as a protected landscape, a ZEPA bird protection area and a Site of Community Importance.

The beach is also known as "El Gallo", a local name used alongside La Vallina. It belongs to the village of Valdredo, in the council of Cudillero, and its low occupancy means it is almost only visited by fishermen, who work this stretch of the western Asturian coast.

Direct access to the beach is impossible; the usual route starts at Valdredo, continues to the neighbouring Playa de Peña Doria and is only passable at low tide. A second approach comes from Playa de Los Campizales, and on foot through the eastern neighbouring beaches it takes a path of about three kilometres.

The beach is also known as "El Gallo", a name the sources give alongside La Vallina. It lies within the Costa Occidental de Asturias, catalogued as Paisaje Protegido, ZEPA and LIC, and is bordered to the east by Playa de Cueva and to the west by Punta del Esquilón.
