San Roque viewpoint

San Roque viewpoint is a panoramic view that takes your breath away. It is one of the most famous viewpoints from the Asturian coast, and it is not surprising since you can see in all its beauty the town of Lastres -with its white houses with red roofs-, Its beach, the beach of the Greek and backdrop the peaks of Europe. Sea and mountains merge, when dawn or when it is dusk are special moments of the day to get closer to there.Lastres is one of the most beautiful coastal villas on the Cantabrian coast, which is why travelers make a pause at the San Roque viewpoint to contemplate such wonderful views. There is road access and we can leave our vehicle in the small parking area, although you can also walk up from the town, but we advise you to go with suitable footwear and without hurry, since the slope is quite steep if we are in the port area. The area has a recreational area set on a hill, sheltered by centenary trees, next to the chapel of San Roque. Children's area, barbecues, fountain and tables complete the premises. How to get to the Mirador de San Roque? If we come from Santander by the A-8 we take the exit 337 towards Colunga.
