55. Candás, Asturias: Maritime Soul with a Splash of Grit

Candás is a salty little town on Asturias’ northern coast where everything feels anchored to the sea. It’s not polished or pristine—it’s real. The working harbor is always alive with boats, and the seafront promenade offers dramatic views of the Cantabrian waves crashing below. The town celebrates its fishing heritage with murals, festivals, and one of the best seafood scenes in the region. Whether you’re watching sardines grill over coals or hiking the coastal cliffs, Candás offers a bold, unfiltered taste of Atlantic Spain that sticks with you.
