🏊 Travesía a nado de la ensenada de Luanco

The Luanco inlet is Luanco's natural swimming pool: sheltered, with calm water and the church in the background. That is why triathletes and open-water swimmers from all over Asturias come to swim here — and why this camera has so many viewers in a swim cap and goggles.

The classic entry point is the Gayo ramp: you walk down, get in without rocks and in two strokes you are swimming with the village as spectator. The most common route runs along the Gayo area; those wanting more head for the Carmen island (La Vaca) and cover the whole inlet. Out to the island and back — depending on the line you take — is the kind of swim you tell people about in the bar afterwards.

You check the water on this very site before getting in: real temperature, swell and the wetsuit advice on the beach panel (below 16° the suit is not up for debate; in high summer you swim happily without it). The live camera frames exactly this area: you can see the state of the sea before taking the car.

Common-sense safety: always a marker buoy (compulsory, and it makes you visible to boats), better with company, respect the harbour mouth and its vessels, and if the sea is rough, swap the plan for a coffee on the promenade. Other swimmers' tracks and times are on Wikiloc.
