Hiking

A monumental outdoor complex located at the end of Salinas Beach. It shows a collection of ship anchors, although the highlight is the spectacular views of the Cantabrian Sea. Free entrance. Essential visit.

Hiking

The Philippe Cousteau Anchor Museum is an open-air monumental complex with free access located in the municipality of Castrillón, very close to Avilés on the Asturian coast. Up to 8 historical anchors recovered from the seabed and others donated are exhibited in this museum. The museum is dedicated to the memory of Jacques Cousteau's deceased son, Philippe Cousteau. Visiting it is an ideal plan to go with children, where they can enjoy the history of these enormous iron masses and the impressive views.
