Beach of la Espasa

Nature · Caravia, Oriente, Asturias

An open stretch of sand marking the boundary with the neighbouring municipality of Colunga, one of only three in a municipality with just over four kilometres of coastline; the Northern Way of St James passes alongside it. At low tide it joins the neighbouring La Isla beach, with which it shares facilities, and gives access to those of El Pozo de las Pipas and El Barrigón. It is 1,200 metres long, with a residential setting, parking, a coastal promenade and, in season, a lifeguard, showers, beach bars and a surf school. The pilgrim on the coastal route crosses here the bridge over the river that gives the beach its name before entering Colunga, and finds the pilgrims' hostel in the nearby village of La Isla.
