Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias: la Familia Real descubre en Llanes seis siglos de tradición marinera
La Cofradía de Pescadores de Santa Ana, que se remonta al año 1350, recibe el premio otorgado por la Fundación Princesa de Asturias. Los reyes Felipe VI y Letizia, junto a sus dos hijas, recorren el municipio para conocer sus danzas y trajes típicos, la subasta de pescado o la industria conservera
On Saturday, October 24th, the Royal Family concluded their Asturias visit in connection with the Princesa de Asturias Awards. The event took place in Llanes for the awarding of the 2026 Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias distinction. This year, however, the award was not given to the municipality itself, but to an institution with centuries of history: the Cofradía de Pescadores de Santa Ana.
At around 12:30, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, accompanied by Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia - as has been the custom since 2019 - arrived in the Asturian town. They were met by bagpipers, dozens of onlookers, and local authorities, including the mayor, Minister Luis Planes, and the President of the Principality. Before embarking on their city tour, the royals paused briefly to greet and take selfies with the scores of neighbors eagerly awaiting them.
