Luarca/Ḷḷuarca is a peaceful fishing village, which was an important fishing port since the Middle Ages, and which preserves many vestiges of that glorious past: old neighborhoods, the remains of a fortress, the Board of Seasickers and Navigators, legendary bridges, or palaces and emblazoned houses.

This old fishing village lies at the mouth of the Rio Negro. The town invades the valley dug by the river and seems to wind itself with it. In the harbor of the village you can take a break and stock up on new provisions and water.

A pretty old fishing town which shows some of its old splendor, some is nicely decorated and then again many abandoned houses are at the decay. When we arrived, the sea fog over the city was a bit spooky. Very popular with Spaniards
