Dani Carvajal chooses Llanes to escape pressure

The Real Madrid captain spends his vacation in an Asturian village with 30 beaches

Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid's captain, has been the subject of recent internet searches after being spotted enjoying a discreet getaway on Spain's northern coast. The choice fell on Llanes, a small Asturian municipality known for its extensive coastline and peaceful atmosphere.

Why Llanes attracts the Madridista captain

Llanes, with around 13,000 inhabitants, offers the anonymity that elite athletes usually seek when stepping away from the spotlight. The Cantabrian climate, the cliffs, and the cider tradition create a perfect setting for those wishing to "disappear off the map."

Geography and beaches that enchant

Along just 56 kilometers of coastline, the municipality hides 30 beaches with fine sand and crystal-clear waters. Among them, Gulpiyuri Beach stands out—an inland beach with no direct outlet to the sea, recognized as a natural monument. Other options include Toró Beach, famous for its sharp rock formations, and Barro Beach, ideal for those who prefer to shelter from the wind.

Historical and gastronomic heritage

The medieval historic center of Llanes, surrounded by a 13th-century wall, preserves cobblestone streets that have served as backdrops for Spanish films. The local gastronomy, marked by cider and seafood, complements the experience of those seeking rest and culture in one place.

Contemporary luxury tourism

According to reports, the trend of the wealthy swapping nightclubs for hiking trails along the Picos de Europa has boosted the demand for accommodation in Llanes. The high season is already underway, and vacancies in local hotels fill up quickly when the weather improves.

How to replicate Carvajal's getaway

For those wishing to follow the Madridista captain's example, the recommendation is to plan the trip in advance, as reservations in Llanes tend to sell out within hours. Opting for less urbanized beaches guarantees greater privacy, while the proximity to trails allows for exploring the surrounding nature.
