Llanes and the Picos de Europa From TikTok
This list pairs the Asturian coast with the mountains behind it. The most posted entry is the Ruta del Cares, an 11 km path cut into the cliffs of the Cares gorge in the Picos de Europa, and close to it is Bulnes, a mountain village you reach by funicular or on foot. Both are inland in Cabrales, a drive from the town.
On the coast, Llanes itself has a historic center, a harbor and the Paseo de San Pedro, and two beaches nearby show how varied the shore is: Playa de Poo turns into a calm saltwater pool at high tide, while Playa de Ballota is a wilder cove with a blowhole.

Picos de Europa: Ruta del Cares and Bulnes
The Ruta del Cares links Poncebos and Caín in about three hours one way, through tunnels with windows cut into the rock and above the gorge known as the Divine Gorge. The creator who posted it describes mountain views at every step. Bulnes is listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain and sits near the Cares trail, reached by the Bulnes funicular or by hiking, which makes the two an obvious pair for one day.
Llanes town and its beaches
In Llanes, walk the Paseo de San Pedro, see the Cubos de la Memoria art installation, and look for the medieval tower and palaces in the old quarter; the town also has weekly markets and bufones along its coast. Playa de Poo is funnel-shaped and wave-free, safe for children, with the Isle of Poo just offshore. Playa de Ballota has golden sand under green cliffs, an islet, a freshwater lagoon and a bufón that blows in high surf, but the path down is steep and uneven.
Good to know
About three hours one way, according to the listing, along an 11 km route between Poncebos and Caín. The path is carved into the limestone walls of the Cares River gorge and runs through tunnels with rock-cut windows. It is free and the most posted place on this list.
