The Niembro estuary
We travel to the Council of Llanes, where we find the coastal people of Niembro, a place where The Calabres river flows into the Cantabriancreating a spectacular estuary with krstics ramifications. The 600 meters in length of the homonymous estuary allow, today, to continue to be used as a natural port for small boats and as an leisure center for all those lovers of outdoor sport who find there the ideal destination to practice kayak or swimming .
The magic of this place is found in the changing rhythm of the tides. When the tide goes up, this enclave becomes an authentic Lake with sea water whereby ships can pass, play sports, swim, dive, and where nature is the undoubted protagonist, surrounded by green forests and a small church that seems to float.
In the same way, when the tide returns to its original state and lowers the water, the estuary becomes A great sand whereby you can walk to the religious temple. In addition, when the water is removed, they are created Small natural pools They reach the sea, creating a unique place in the world.
A floating church
In the midst of this oasis that seems taken from a fairy tale, there is the Church of Our Lady of Doloresa temple whose origin dates back to the 18th century. The beauty of this building lies in the surrounding landscape, and when the tide goes up It seems to float completely on the estuary.
The Church was designed by the Silvestre Architect Pérez and Martínez and the cemetery which occupies its territory creates a film scene when you see how water goes up until you almost flood it. In addition, due to its impressive landscape, it has been home to numerous Cinematographic films like Epilogue either The lady.
