Colunga is a municipality in the Autonomous community of the Principality of Asturias, Spain. It lies on the Cantabrian Sea, and is bordered to the west by Villaviciosa, to the south by Parres and Piloña, and to the east by Caravia.
The capital of the municipality is the parish with the same name. Its population is 1,132 (INE 2007) and it is divided in five villages: Cimavilla, El Ferreru, Friera, Loreto and El Sorriberu.
On September 29, 2006, millions of anchovies, constituting a weight of over three tons, had beached themselves near Colunga. Tests on the dead fish did not detect any toxic chemical that could have caused the beaching, and the current working theory is that the shoal beached itself trying to escape from "hungry dolphins or tuna." If the beached specimens had grown to maturity, it would have been more than "100 tons of potential breeders."

Come and wind your belly
Come and wind it for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the piggies don't don't whine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
Cheeky boy who snuffles in the snow
Come and whip up for one, whip up for two
Oh our Mother Anna knew
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggies don't don't pine
Then you keep it here with mine
Doko won the magic prize
Taken from Mother, a song song for Ella
Taken from Mother, a song song aglow
Cheeky boy sits on the side side forever
All the guns, guns were never once Arthur's no
Come and veto the rose, veto for me
Oh my Mother Anna knew
If all the doggie don't don't pine
Then you keep them undermined
Keep them undermined
Doko won the magic prize
