El Pedregal: Iconic Beachfront Property in Ribadesella
A Unique Architectural Masterpiece
"El Pedregal" is a one-of-a-kind villa located in the most coveted position on Ribadesella’s renowned beachfront, offering direct access to the promenade and unparalleled views of the sea. Designed in 1955 by the famous architect Ignacio Álvarez Castelao, this property combines architectural brilliance, artistic elements, and modern functionality to create a timeless and exclusive residence.
Key Features:
A Remarkable Vision El Pedregal stands as one of the most remarkable properties on the Ribadesella beachfront, celebrated for its masterful design and integration into the surrounding landscape. The villa's complex volumetric layout harmonizes with its dual orientation: to the north, it opens to the promenade and the beach; to the south, it connects to the public access road. Constructed with irregular limestone blocks, colourful plastered panels, and a slate roof, the villa’s organic design and textures exude timeless charm.
Inside, the home offers a rich sensory experience, featuring five original murals (two mosaics and three frescoes) by acclaimed Asturian artist Antonio Suárez. The property also showcases bespoke wrought ironwork, including gates, window grilles, and perimeter fences, all designed by Castelao himself. These artistic details, coupled with the villa’s innovative architectural elements, make it a true masterpiece.
