Andés between the Coastal Plain and Culture

Andés lies on the coastal plain between the beaches of Navia and Frejulfe. Campo San Pedro is considered the heart of Andés. On 29 June, Andés celebrates its patron saint’s festival in honour of Saint Peter. For trip planning, the coastal area, town centre, and festival tradition therefore stand alongside one another as clearly distinguishable themes.
