Luarca, the white town in Asturias

According to a very popular and well-ingrained saying, Luarca is the white town on the green coast. The first thing to catch your eye is the white colour of this illustrious village. It is undoubtedly the whitest of the entire Asturian coast.

If you arrive in Luarca in the area of Villar, you can take a tour of the residences of those Asturians who emigrated to the Indies and returned with a fortune, the Indian style architecture homes. As you walk through the watchtower you will see where the natives met to light the fires and guide the ships before building the lighthouse at the tip of Focicón in 1862. You can also admire its cemetery on a hill. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Spain due to its spectacular sea views.
