Cudillero
A delightful fishing village squeezed so tightly into a corkscrewing valley that none of its buildings face directly out to sea — giving it the feel of a Greek island village.
What Cudillero is like

25km west of Avilés.
On the table. Fish tavernas in the cobbled plaza above the seafront; returning fishing boats sell their fresh catch beside the harbour from 3pm.
Worth the trip
- Brightly coloured arcaded houses rising up a steep horseshoe of cliffs
- A viewpoint reached by a steep staircase that perfectly frames the port
