COSTA VERDE HOLIDAYS   >   SPAIN  


North Coast of Spain, between Cantabria and Galicia.
It is called green because it has a wet and moderate oceanic climate, strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean winds that get trapped by the mountains. As a result, it enjoys relatively lush and attractive plant growth amongst the mountains that run down to the sea.

Stretching for about 30 km along the coast at the extreme east of the province, Llanes is bounded to the south by the high ridge of the limestone Sierra del Cuera, which rises to over 1,100 m. Llanes lies to the north of the Picos de Europa, a mountain range whose geology is almost entirely of limestone karst.
