El Monte Calera - all beaches

The beach near the city is really nice. I had heard great things about it, like how it's usually bustling with people enjoying the sand and the warm sun. However, when I visited, I was disappointed to find only a few people there and the water was quite cold. Perhaps I came at the wrong time. On the bright side, I really appreciate that it's conveniently located near the docks. As a seafarer, this is really important to me.

This spot is nothing to write home about. It's man-made, so that's a bit of a letdown. The rocks in the water make it a bit of a challenge to swim, so it's best to stick to the areas where the locals go. All in all, it's just okay.

This stunning sandy beach is located next to the abandoned Perlora Vacation City, just a stone's throw away from Candás, the capital of the Asturian council of Carreño. It is a great spot to spend a pleasant day at the beach, with its golden fine sand and moderate waves, as well as its stunning coves, caves and abundant vegetation. To the west of the beach, Entrellusa Island can be seen, which was the site of an ancient whaling port since 1232. There is also a coastal, pedestrian path, taking advantage of the route of an old railway, to the nearby town of Xivares, making it an ideal complement to a day of beach fun. With good equipment and rescue services in high season, this is a great spot for all types of people.

That place is not ideal for either those with or without a pet. If you have a pup, you'll have to keep them on a leash, as there are no designated areas for them to run free. And if you don't have a canine companion, you'll be stuck watching everyone else's dog have all the fun.

A great choice for families. It's spacious and offers plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The sand is soft and inviting, and the waters are perfect for swimming and other activities. There's plenty of room to relax and soak up the sun. It's a great spot to take the whole family.

The beach may be small, but it is certainly picturesque and secluded. Its orange sand is ideal for taking a stroll on a sunny winter day, but in summer it tends to be crowded. The town of Luanco is lovely, and the food is great - but the beach still doesn't make up for the throngs of people in the summertime.
