Info
Erected on a previous floor, dating from the 13th century, the Chapel of La Magdalena is located in the historic centre of Llanes, and is one of the religious and festive references of the summer in the seaside town, where the locals celebrate La Magdalena, in July, with a bonfire, the only one that is danced in the East of Asturias.
This ancestral and striking rite consists of the young men of the village, dressed as porruanos, carrying an enormous log (h.oguera), and dancing from one side of the street to the other, surrounded by thousands of people.
La Magdalena is one of the three sides of Llanes, together with San Roque and La Guía.
