Altered in 1892, this 16th century construction is standing at the perfect point for a complete panoramic view over the Sella river’s estuary. The splendid southern façade still remains on its undeniable original Renaissance style. However, if you look at its eastern wall you’ll realise that nowadays the chancel part of the chapel is missing. Probably a landslide made it collapsed in an imprecise moment of its history.

This cosy stony beach is formed by flat loam rocks at the foot of the Jurassic cliffs that involve the old village. Perfect for sunbathing during the summertime, it is really easy to get there from Villar y Valle square. L’Atalaya cove was traditionally frequented by local society before Santa Marina sandy beach, on the western side of the river, became popular. Limpets, winkles and sea urchins have been always considered a local delicatessen, so they were usually gathered here by residents. 

Formed by the collapse of several superposed galleries, its colossal main chamber stands there unexpectedly as a colossal 40 m high underground cupola. Open to the exterior on its ceiling, this naturally lightened cavern was used as a recurrent shelter by Prehistoric men. This is why today it is considered an important archaeological site.

Its dimension and acoustic values has made this cave became the site of a Classical Music local festival that is celebrated in Ribadesella every summer.
