Clustered around its historic fishing port, the terracotta-roofed residences of Cudillero promise spectacular sea views and stacks of timeless charm. Long popular with Spanish holidaymakers looking to unwind in somewhere far from the crowds, this pint-sized community now plays host to increasing numbers of visitors from further afield. There’s a small selection of excellent accommodation options, with our Gurus highlighting a particularly pretty restored manor house set amidst lovely gardens.

Spend your days strolling along winding hillside streets towards the bay, where shops, cafés and restaurants are grouped close to the port. Sip piping hot coffee with fresh pastries, or savour long seafood lunches which stretch on into sun-drenched afternoons. Beachgoers will adore Playa del Silencio and Playa Concha de Artedo, whilst hikers can soak up superb panoramas from Cabo Vidio, with its iconic lighthouse. For views of the town itself, trek up to the Mirador de la Garita-Atalya lookout point, or follow cycling trails through the surrounding hills.

One of Asturias’ hidden gems, Cudillero is a brilliant base for a low-key coastal escape. Swim, sunbathe, fish and feast before returning to one of the best places to stay in Cudillero. Book well in advance — our top spot fills up fast!
