Playa del Silencio, Spain

Spain"s Asturias region, known for its green setting, rich artistic legacy, and excellent food, has a lot of hidden gems—like the one in today"s image. The Playa del Silencio—Beach of Silence in English—is a shell-shaped cove with a serene ambience and a natural rock amphitheatre. The beach"s isolation from urban areas and the absence of commercial establishments and noisy crowds contribute to the sense of solitude. The rugged cliffs and golden sands provide an ideal place to soak in its peaceful vibes, while nearby caves and water activities provide exciting adventures for those who crave them.
