Celorio combines beaches with distinct characteristics, coastal paths and the Benedictine Monastery of San Salvador. If you are looking for accommodation in Celorio, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: the beach, a particular coastal route or architectural history. Some beach connections depend on low tide; check the route conditions before setting out.

Beaches with Different Conditions

Playa de Palombina is Celoriu’s town beach. White sand and clear water define the beach, along with large rock formations on land and in the sea. A viewpoint offers beautiful views. Facilities include an access ramp, accessible toilets and showers, and a large car park. Check the condition of the facilities before your visit.

At low tide, Playa de Palombina is connected to Playa de Las Cámaras and Playa de Los Frailes. A connection also forms at Playa de Borizu at low tide: a tombolo links it to Borizu Island, or Arnielles. If these beach connections are important to your plans, take the low-tide times into account.

Playa de San Martín offers a different experience. It is accessible on foot and is usually used for surfing. At the same time, it is entirely natural and has no services. This is a practical difference when planning compared with Palombina, which has facilities including toilets and showers.

Coastal Paths and Historic Sites

The coastal path from Playa de Las Cámaras to Playa de San Antolín starts at Playa de Las Cámaras in Celoriu and passes via Playa de Borizu. The starting point and the stop along the way give the route a clear connection to the coast. Check the route conditions before setting out.

Another route leads to the monastery: on the coastal route of the Camino de Santiago through Llanes, a detour after passing Po takes you to the Monastery of San Salvador de Celorio. This means your day’s plans can include either a path between beaches or a coastal route with a historic destination.

The Monastery of San Salvador

The Benedictine Monastery of San Salvador in Celorio was founded in the 11th century. Its surviving features include a Romanesque tower with a square cross-section. The monastery church was rebuilt at the end of the 17th century. Inside is a Gothic portal, probably built in the 13th century.

The information refers to different parts and periods: the monastery’s foundation, the portal’s probable medieval origins and the church’s later rebuilding. For those interested in architecture, the monastery therefore offers more than a single point of historical interest.

Planning Your Stay

Celorio has a bus stop. If you plan to take the bus, check current routes and departure times, as routes and service frequency can change.

When planning where to stay, it helps to distinguish between the local highlights: at Palombina, beach connections and facilities are relevant; at San Martín, surfing and the lack of services are key. For the coastal path, current route conditions matter; the monastery adds architectural history to the options. Choose your accommodation in Celorio with these considerations in mind, depending on which will shape your days there.
