RESTAURANTE GUEYU-MAR Michelin Plate IIO The coastline around Ribadesella features extensive sandy beaches and small coves.

The town is appropriately named after the fish because of the local, traditional seasonal La Almadraba (an age-old Phoenician technique for trapping and catching Atlantic bluefin tuna in elaborate nets).
