Who said that northern Spain is not a good place to spend your summer holidays? In Asturias, for example, you can enjoy, among many other things, stunning beaches, where you can relax on the sand, do water sports or enjoy wonderful views.
One of the many beaches in Asturias that is well worth a visit is XagĂł, a sandy area located in the council of GozĂłn, between the city of AvilĂ©s and Cabo de Peñas. Would you like to find out more about this beautiful place? Well, don’t miss out on what we’ll tell you below!
Ideal for surfing and paragliding
At the northernmost point of the community of Asturias is the beach of XagĂł, a very popular destination for surfers thanks to the wind that blows in this area. In addition, many people come here to go paragliding. Specifically, those brave enough to try this activity do so from the cliffs of Cabo Negro. But don’t think that this sandy area is only suitable for sports enthusiasts.
A beautiful and extensive golden beach
As you can see for yourself by taking a look at the images in our gallery, it is a beautiful and extensive beach of golden sand where you can find aeolian dunes. These are accumulations of sand with a high scientific value. However, it is important to bear in mind that, due to the strong waves that are usually found on the beach, it is necessary to take precautions when bathing.
A busy but quiet beach
Finally, we would like to comment that, although it is a fairly busy beach, thanks to its extension it is also quiet. Here we leave you with our gallery, where you will find more images of this beautiful beach in Asturias. Don’t miss it!
