Hotel Bufón de Arenillas, Hotel in Vidiago, Llanes, Spain
Hotel Bufón de Arenillas is a small hotel in Vidiago, a village in the municipality of Llanes on the coast of Asturias in northern Spain. It sits close to the Atlantic, with views of cliffs, green fields, and the open sea.
Vidiago is an old fishing village that has been home to people living off the coast and the land for centuries. Over time the area changed slowly, and many of the old stone houses and paths are still there today.
The hotel takes its name from a nearby natural phenomenon, the Bufón de Arenillas, a kind of sea geyser where waves push water through cracks in the rock and shoot it into the air. This spot is only a short walk away and draws many visitors who want to see the force of the Atlantic up close.
The hotel sits on the edge of Vidiago and is easiest to reach by car, since the village sits away from main roads. From there, visitors can explore the coastal paths and nearby beaches on foot without much trouble.
The Bufón de Arenillas, which gives the hotel its name, is one of several such rock holes along this stretch of coast, but it is considered one of the most active when the sea is rough. On stormy days, the column of water can shoot several meters into the air and is visible from a distance.
