The Spanish royals made their trip to Llanes a family affair. King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia, and their two daughters—Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía—paid a visit to the historic coastal municipality and fishing town in the Principality of Asturias, Spain, on Saturday to present the town with the prestigious 2026 Exemplary Town of Asturias Award.
The honor was given to the Cofradía de Pescadores Santa Ana (Santa Ana Fishermen’s Guild), a medieval-era guild recognized for its sustainability, innovation, and dedication to traditional artisanal fishing.
While in town, the royals toured the town center, watched traditional Asturian dance performances, visited the fish market and chapel, and boarded a local fishing boat.
