View of the village of Cudillero at dusk. In the foreground a square full of bars with terraces, which reach the old harbour and colourful houses that go up the narrow streets forming an amphitheatre. All illuminated giving life to the town, and in the background with its lights on, the new port. The sea and the dark blue sky at dusk.

Cudillero

Indian houses, palaces and gardens, amphitheatre, port and dreamy, unspoilt beaches, the pixueto language, the curadillo... land and sea, fishing and livestock, Indians, seafood stews. An eclectic and surprising life. This is Cudillero
View of the Cudillero lighthouse at the top of the cape that juts out into the sea. In the foreground, the sea is dotted with rocks, close to the cliffs that descend from the cape. The water is turquoise blue and so crystal clear that you can see the bottom. Around the lighthouse there is a green area covered with bushes with pink flowers.
In the distance, Cape Vidío, with its lighthouse, jutting out into the sea. A rocky cliff area, orange in the sunlight. From the cliff you can see the descent to the beach of La Cueva, this area with green and flowery vegetation. Below is the fine stone beach and the blue sea, with small waves on the shore.
Spectacular sunset at the Sablon beach viewpoint. In the foreground a bench on a rock overlooking the sea. Below the cliff and the coast forming a crescent to the other end where there is another cape. The sun shining and the orange sky reflecting in the sea. In the background are more headlands of the coast.
Very well preserved granaries, with their red roofs over a green meadow with white daisies. In the background, an area of meadows and houses dotted on the gentle slopes. The sky is overcast, white and grey but with some clearings where the sun shines through, casting shadows of the hórreos on the meadow.
Spectacular view of the coast from Gueirua beach. In the middle of the sea there are rock formations with whimsical, very pointed shapes that resemble a lunar landscape. In the background are the impressive cliffs of Silencio beach. The sky is cloudy, grey, but with a clearing through which the evening sunlight enters.

Info

Cudillero is one of the most famous, admired and photographed places among the fishing villages of northern Spain. A clear exponent of its seafaring origins and fishing tradition, it is hidden in a natural shelter, in the shape of an amphitheatre, and is also known as Villa Pixueta, in reference to the unique socio-linguistic slang that has always been used to communicate with this unique community.

A stroll through the village is a must, narrow streets with fishermen's houses where they hang the typical curadillos, small fish dried in the air, a primitive form of preservation, which are a unique and very typical delicacy, shops, bars... reaching the lighthouse would be another good option.In addition, within the council we will find unique paradises such as the beaches of Silencio, Gueirúa, Concha de Artedo, San Pedro de la Ribera, and the incomparable panoramic views of Cabo Vidio, one of the great promontories and cliffs of the Asturian coast.

Although it is not only the beaches that are charming in Cudillero; a visit to the Faedo Valley, or a more cultural visit to the Selgas Palace in El Pito gives us an idea of the natural and cultural wealth of this council.
