San Roque's viewpoint and chapel

On the promontory of Misiera point, a place that invites you to stop and enjoy the magnificent views of both the village of Llastres and its bay, one of the most spectacular that can be obtained from the Cantabrian Sea. The chapel, dedicated to San Roque, one of the patron saints of sailors to whom devotion is paid in Lastres, was a key point for whale fishing. From the elevated areas the watchmen watched the passage of these large cetaceans. When one of these whales was sighted, they lit a bonfire as a warning signal. Once the smoke was detected, the bell of the chapel was rung from San Roque to alert all the fishermen, who hurried to catch them.
