Ribadesella XI, a photo from Asturias, Asturias

Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I propose a view of the unique beach houses of the city of Ribadesella, a charming place at the mouth of the river Sella. I hope you like it, then some letters about the villa.

Ribadesella (in Asturian, Ribeseya) is a council of the autonomous community of the Principality of Asturias. It limits to the north with the Cantabrian sea, to the east with Llanes, to the south with Cangas de Onís and Parres and to the west with Caravia. Founded by Alfonso X el Sabio. It was one of the main Asturian ports of the 19th century. It has a population of 6,242 inhabitants (INE, 2011).

The council also has numerous companies dedicated to adventure sports, such as canoeing, caving or climbing. The first Saturday of August after day 2 is celebrated the famous International Descent of Sella, where athletes from all over the world attend and a great local party is celebrated.

This council also stands out for the variety of tourism that it offers, and especially for the activities that surround the cave of Tito Bustillo, famous for its prehistoric paintings and for the dinosaur footprints.

During the Middle Ages the town lived a moment of splendor thanks to the shipyards that were nourished by the wood that was lowered by the Sella, and maritime trade, especially salt (essential for salting the fish). However, the most profitable activity was the capture of the salmon in the Sella, controlled by the "Mareantes", and the hunts of the whales that hibernated in those waters. As a result of this the House of the whales that lasts in the village until the nineteenth century is derived.

In the political sphere, Ribadesella became a very contested square thanks to its innumerable sources of wealth and its strategic geographical situation. It is here when the house Quiñones takes over the town in the time of Juan II, returning to incorporate the crown in the time of the Catholic Kings who evicted the Quiñones family from their possessions.

In the 16th century, a historic event took place for the town, such as the arrival of the Emperor Charles I of Spain, as a result of which the event was celebrated for two days in a row. It is in this stage when the enclosure of the hermitage of the Guide is fortified to defend the port of enemy towns. It is a time of relative tranquility when it comes to safety.

During the seventeenth century an attempt was made to create the main port of Asturias in Ribadesella, in addition to the link with the plateau, presenting a road project by Ponga, but due to Jovellanos influences, it finally fell to the port of Gijón that projected the Pajares highway. access to the plateau by Leon. Not because of this the village stagnated, because Carlos III donated 100,000 reales for the works of expansion and improvement of the port that would be completed a century later.

Hello Angel,
A great picture of the seaside town with the waves rolling into land well included in the foreground. The high viewpoint offered a great view of the stately homes along the coastline as well as the cliffs behind them. Very well done.

Hola, Angel!

La vista de la ciudad con estas casas coloridas es increíble, lo captaste desde un excelente punto de vista más alto que le da un destaque especial al bonito color del agua. Linda composición! Excelente trabajo!

Hi Angel
Luminous capture of the beachscape, a beautiful panorama and such a sense of open space wouldn't mind strolling there! The stunning colours are strong elements definitely cooling off here, which is very ably demonstrated. Picture such as this will never get old.....
Lovely shot, Congrats
Best regards

Attractive architecture along the seaside. The houses are nicely located between the water and the rock wall.
Their different colours provide a very beautiful view.
Nice rolling waves well captured from your elevated point of view.
Best regards, Paul

Bonjour Angel

Quel beau point de vue en hauteur sur les belles maisons sur la rive. La mer et la plage sont belles et le travail de post production fait bien ressortir les beaux détails et couleurs des maisons.

Amicalement

Serge

Hola Angel,
From the higher point taken this picture, we can see the crescent shaped beach and the colorful houses along, and the green covered rocks.
Nicely allocated pic. space, good sharpness.
Buenas dias,
Ike

alvaraalto (42234) 2018-10-05 6:32

Hello Angel
A good idea to exchange Germany with Spain, especially because we can now clearly see the difference in architecture. There are a few very impressive buildings on the coast here, all in their own colour.
A very fascinating contribution to our site.
Well done.
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

adramad (66912) 2018-10-05 8:52

Hola amigo Angel.
Una preciosa iglesia, con la espuma de las olas, la casi vacia playa y esa serie de construcciones cada una diferente y hermosa de la otra, pienso que pueden ser casas de indianos, como cierre la pared rocosa de la montaña.
Una foto fantástica, con hermosos colores naturales, muy buena iluminacion y una excelente nitidez.
Bonito trabajo. Me encanta.
Que disfrutes del fin de semana.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Luis.

Hello Angel,

A good elevated pov overlooking this attractive sandy beach. Good sharpness and some elegant looking houses along the foreshore. I like the warm cold colour contrast between the blue sea and the reddish brown sand. Tfs!

mcmtanyel (58830) 2018-10-10 19:51

Hello Angel,
It is a beautiful beach lined by pretty houses. I like the vivid colors. 👍👍

Olá Angel

Linda perspetiva de palacetes, como chamamos em Portugal a este tipo de casas burguesas, revelam um estilo tão característico do final do século XIX e princípio do século XX, sobretudo um pouco por toda a Europa do Sul.
Que bom terem preservado essa herança, opondo-se à invasão do cimento e betão de torres de apartamentos.
Cores muito bonitas.
Bom trabalho.
Um abraço,
Maria
