The seaside cemetery and the Mareantes Table
Chapter 3/8 · Luarca
We are at the Mesa de los Mareantes, the Mariners’ Table. Next to it is the seaside cemetery, with the tomb of Severo Ochoa, and the Nazareno chapel.
The place was a bulwark against attacks from the sea and, according to one historian, it may have first been built in the 13th century. It was altered several times, especially in the 18th century. From here there is a spectacular view of the western Asturian coast.
Right next to it is the lighthouse.
