Luanco is a village and parish located in Asturias, Spain between the towns of Candás and Avilés. It has a population of around 10,000 inhabitants. Luanco was originally a fishing village but has developed a tourism industry in recent decades. During the Spanish War of Independence in the early 1800s, Luanco suffered damage when occupied by French forces. In the late 19th century, Luanco became a popular summer destination with the opening of a spa and bathhouse on the beach, which attracted summer tourists and led to the growth of industries and services. The village is formed by seven neighborhoods and has several points of interest including churches, a maritime museum, and chapels.
