'''Llanes''' (the '''''Concejo de Llanes''''', '''''Conceyu de Llanes''''' in [[Asturian language]]) is a [[Municipalities of Spain|municipality]] of the province of [[Asturias]], in northern [[Spain]]. Stretching for about 30&nbsp;km along the coast at the extreme east of the province, Llanes is bounded to the south by the high ridge of the limestone [[Sierra del Cuera]], which rises to over 1,100&nbsp;m. The region is part of the ''Costa Verde'' (Green Coast) of Spain, which is known for its spectacular coastal scenery, with 32 white sand beaches, and mountains covered with a deep green mantle. Llanes lies to the north of the [[Picos de Europa]], a mountain range whose geology is almost entirely of limestone [[karst]].

Most of the inhabitants of the district live on the coastal plain, on which the largest town is Llanes itself, with a population of about 4,000 out of the total for the district of about 13,000. The folklore, food, and fiestas of the region are famous for their colour and history.
