Candás.
A working fishing harbor on the Asturian coast.

Candás sits on the central Asturian coast, close to Gijón, and still runs on fishing. Boats tie up along the harbor most mornings, and the catch moves straight from the quay to the waterfront restaurants. The old town spreads back from the port in narrow lanes lined with stone houses. A promenade follows the shoreline past small coves and the town beach, with views of the Cantabrian Sea and the cliffs toward Cabo Peñas. The harbor keeps a working pace, with boats going out on the early tide. Candás sits between Gijón and the wilder headland of Cabo Peñas, giving it easy reach to bigger towns while keeping its own maritime identity. The climate stays mild and damp through most of the year, which keeps the coastline green and the harbor active across the seasons.
