LLanes is located on a narrow swathe of land beneath the Picos de Europa and the Mar Cantabrico (Bay of Biscay). The town is small and very distinctive with an old quarter and a tourist office inside its oldest building, a tower from the thirteenth century.

Although small, Llanes, which is almost suspended above the ocean, is visited by tourists in the summer months and particularly during late July and August when it can become busy. The area around this small hamlet is also a must for beach goers with dozens of small beaches hiding around every corner. Most of these beaches are narrow and sheltered and many have rocks, or the outcrops of the cliffs at their boundaries. Llanes is reputed to have some of the best beaches in Asturias.
