- Llanes Eastern Asturias
The bufones are natural phenomena caused by the effect of the erosion of the sea and rain on the limestone rock, giving rise to cracks and chimneys that connect the sea with the land. The blow of the calm waves against the cliffs causes the expulsion of the compressed air in the galleries, however, on days of heavy swell air and water escape to the outside at high pressure with jets of water that reach great heights.
The best known in Asturias are the Bufones de Pría, in the town of Llames. You should leave your car there and continue walking along the impressive cliffs in front of you. On days when the sea is rough the spectacle is amazing, it is a fantastic place, the views from the cliffs are worth the trip and if the tide is high the spectacle is unimaginable. There is a route of the bufones, starting and finishing in Llames, of low difficulty and lasting about four hours, which is worth doing to enjoy its beauty.
