esp: "De origen medieval, el Puente del Beso es uno de los siete puentes que existen en la villa, sirviendo de acceso peatonal al barrio de pescadores de La Pescadería y a las playas de Luarca desde el centro del casco urbano. La leyenda del Puente del Beso Cuenta la leyenda que la hija del señor de La Atalaya se había enamorado del cruel pirata berberisco Cambaral, prisionero en las mazmorras de la fortaleza tras haber sido capturado en una emboscada por las naves luarquesas. Cuando los amantes fueron sorprendidos en su fuga hacia el puerto, el noble, loco de ira e incapaz de soportar tal traición, cortó con su espada de un solo tajo las cabezas de la hermosa doncella y del pirata. En este lugar, a donde rodaron sus cabezas hasta las aguas unidas en un último beso mientras sus cuerpos quedaban entrelazados en un abrazo eterno, se levantó años después el Puente del Beso en recuerdo a la tragedia de los enamorados."
