Costa Verde, Atlantic coastal strip in Asturias, Spain
Costa Verde stretches along the northern edge of Spain with white sand beaches bordered by cliffs and lush meadows. The coastline features numerous bays and headlands with varying characteristics and accessibility.
This coastline marks where Spain's first Christian kingdom emerged following early resistance to invasions. The region became a center of cultural development during the medieval period.
The coastal towns here maintain traditional fishing practices, and you can find fresh catches from the Cantabrian Sea at early morning markets.
These beaches are accessible year-round, though summer brings milder temperatures and rainfall is common in other seasons. Visiting during spring or fall offers pleasant weather with fewer crowds.
The region contains over 200 beaches, including El Silencio in Cudillero where natural rock formations create distinct coves. These settings offer dramatic landscapes worth exploring on foot.
