El Musel is a seaport located in Asturias, in the north of Spain, and in the middle point of the Cantabrian Sea coast it has the Port of Gijón which is a gateway to Europe through the A-66 Madrid-Asturias and Cantabrian highways, allowing direct access to the western and centre of the Iberian Peninsula.
When a Republican squadron penetrated the Cantabrian Sea to relieve Republican toops isolated in the North, she remained in the strait with Gravina to stop any movement of Nationalist troops between Africa and the Iberian peninsula.
