Description
The Llastres Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse located on the cape of Lastres, in the parish and fishing village of Llastres, council of Colunga, on the eastern coast of Asturias. It stands on a cliff facing the Bay of Biscay and is part of the most recognizable maritime landscape of this town, with wide views over the coast and the open sea. It is an enclave of scenic interest due to its elevated and exposed location, where the coastal relief clearly marks the transition between the coastal rasa and the sea cliffs. The access places it in an open environment, close to Lluces, from where it dominates a stretch of coastline much appreciated by those seeking natural viewpoints and scenery of the Atlantic coast. Its interest for the visit lies in the combination of port architecture, landscape and coastal panorama. It is also known for being the youngest lighthouse in Asturias, built in 1994, and for its association with the tourist image of Lastres, one of the most outstanding fishing villages in the Principality. Other values of the Colunga coastline are integrated in the immediate surroundings, such as the visual continuity towards nearby beaches and cliffs. The reference to the lighthouse also appears in tourist guides and resources of Asturias and the network of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain, which confirms its relevance as a landscape landmark and visitable resource.
