The Playa del Silencio (Beach of Silence in Spanish) is a very quiet beach hidden along the north cost of Asturias, near to the village of Cudillero (west of Gijón). The Asturian coastline has hundreds of beaches, coves and natural sea caves. Most of Asturias' beaches are sandy, clean and bordered by steep cliffs, on top of which it is not unusual to see grazing livestock. This picture obtained the 3rd price of the 2006 photo contest (landscape category) organised by the Terre Sauvage magazine.
