Xilo Beach is located on the central Asturian coast, very close to Aguilar Beach, separated by Punta El Castiello. Access is via the N-632 road and then on foot via stairs or the Miradores Coastal Path.

A spectacular fishing village, it is worth taking the detour to visit

This is a spectacular corner of the Asturian coast. Access isn't overly obvious, but it's well worth the effort.

The fact that a place on the Iberian Peninsula is included in the list of the three most famous pilgrimage destinations in the Christian world – along with Jerusalem and Rome – is thanks to one of Jesus' apostles, who is said to have preached here. After his martyrdom, which is briefly recounted in the Acts of the Apostles, his body miraculously found its final resting place here: Saint James the Greater. A small local sanctuary was initially built over his grave; later, a city developed that even bears his name (Santiago de Compostela), and the church in his honor became a cathedral, i.e., a bishop's church. According to local legend, Saint James also played a key role in the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors and is the patron saint of Spain.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach. It's a dreamy setting.
