Llanes is a municipality in the east of the Costa Verde . Back in 1206, during the reign of Alfonso IX , the town was encircled by walls with battlements to defend itself from the attacks of bandits and hoods. This was as a result of the "Carta Puebla" or "Fuero de Llanes" where King Alfonso granted Llanes its liberty from obligations to the Court of the Kingdom of Aguilar and Leon.
Spread around 70 towns, villages and hamlets, the inhabitants of Llanes number to 13,133. The town has a surface area of 261,14 km bordered in the North by the Cantabrian Sea ; in the South by the municipalities of Onís, Cabrales, Peñamellera Baja and Peñamellera Alta ; in the East, by Ribadedeva , and in the West, by those of Cangas de Onís and Ribadesella.

The rivers Guadamía and Cabra indicate the boundaries with the bordering municipalities of Ribadesella and Ribadedeva , respectively. In addition, running through Llanes is the river Bedón , the longest and largest; the river ends at Puente Nuevo el Riensena . Then there s the river the Cabrales , which passes through Posada, the Ereba , which crosses Nueva and flows out to Cuevas del Mar, the Purón, known for its trout, and the Carrocedo , which concludes its course in the town of Llanes . All of the rivers flow from south to north.
The municipality of Llanes topography is the least contoured in the region. It has extensive plains of dramatic formations, such as those of Nueva that is charmingly dotted with many small valleys and hills. The region s pinnacles are found in the natural wall, the Sierra de Cuera , together with the Peña Blanca . Measured at 1,176 meters, it is the highest point in Llanes territory, followed by the Ibeu and Jo l'Alisa , at 869 meters. However, the latter is certainly no less spectacular, for they are no more than 6 kilometers from the beautiful coast.
