Playa Ballota

Asturias


A particularly attractive 350m-long beach 4.5km east of Llanes, hemmed in by green cliffs and with a rocky islet out front. It's signposted down a dirt track from the LLN2 Cué–Andrín road.

On the northern headland, the Bufón de Ballota is a chimney in the rock that spurts jets of sea water high in the air when the tide is high and the waves strong.
