About Cudillero

Cudillero packs its houses into a narrow Asturian valley that opens onto a small fishing harbour, with lanes and stairways climbing the sides. Boats still land their catch below, and the cliff path toward Cabo Vidio and its lighthouse gives wide views of the coast. Avilés and the beaches of the western Asturian coast are short drives away. Late spring to early autumn is the mildest stretch; winter is wet and windy but atmospheric.
