Living in Llanes

Llanes is a delightful eastern-Asturian seaside town of 13,500 wedged between the foothills of the Picos de Europa and a spectacular stretch of cliff-backed coast. A tidal stream lined with seafood restaurants runs into the little harbour, and a clifftop path — the Paseo de San Pedro — gives dizzying views. It's a mostly Spanish town with Venezuelan and Mexican communities. The climate is mild green-coast, cool summers around 23°C, mild winters near 11°C and plenty of rain. The one real drawback is healthcare distance — the nearest hospital is around forty-five minutes away — but you have the mountains and the sea at once.

Numbers: Spainability town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Registered long-let rent is SERPAVI declared-contract data; its p25–p75 values show the observed band. Registered-rent yield is gross, excludes costs and is never imputed. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
