Luanco thrives in the summertime, as many of the people who own real estate are from Madrid and come to Luanco to live in the summer. This is when the town really comes alive.
Get in
Luanco is serviced by ALSA's bus system (www.alsa.es). Buses run daily from the three biggest cities: Oviedo, Gijon, and Aviles.
Get around
Luanco is a very small town, so walking should not be a problem.

- Cabo de Peñas, the most northern tip of Spain, providing amazing views looking onto the Cantabric Ocean. The 'faro,' or lighthouse, is very famous in Asturias. This is only about a 15 minute drive from Luanco.

Drink
Asturias is very well known for its Cider, or "sidra." Be sure to stop in and have a bottle at a local sidreria. You should plan on having the bartender serve it to you, as it is elaborately poured out of the bottle from above the head and into the cup below.
There are numerous cafes along the small harbor. If you are familiar with pouring the sidra, feel free to take your bottle and glass outside after you have purchased it (just remember to bring it back when you are finished).
