Colunga is a town of about 3,900 permanent residents located on the shore of the Cantabrian Sea in the Principality of Asturias, in northern Spain. Historians and archaeologists know this town for its evident importance to the pre-Roman people that once inhabited in this part of northwestern Spain. Medieval Colunga was a port town, and the old Asturian culture began to cross-polinate with that of the rest of the Iberian peninsula. Visitors can see the fascinating results of this cross-polination for themselves, as they explore the numerous historic monuments found in the older part of town.

The principal attraction in Colunga is the Church of Santiago de Gobiendes, one of the most important in Asturia and a spectacular example of the pre-Romanesque style of old Asturian architecture. Other points of interest are the 16th century villa of Alonso Covian, as well as the Gobiendes Palace. Take advantage of the Internet to find the best deals on hotels in Colunga.
