Cudillero is a small village of around 6000 people, a number that gets multiplied by many during high season (June-September). Too small to justify an overnight stay, Cudillero is definitely a MUST on any trip to Northern Spain. However, I will not be the one to say that it wouldn't be lovely to sleep in one of its many colourful houses perched on the hill. Cudillero is also known as the Amphitheatre, as its houses appear to be placed one on top of the other forming a semi circle of box seats looking down at the main square playing as the stage.
In the summer, swarms of tourists fill up the main square at the bottom of the village to watch the fishermen's boats come into the port with the day's catches which they will sell in the local "lonja" (fish auction) to the many restaurants in the area. So as you may have already guessed, eating in Cudillero is also a MUST. You will enjoy the freshest fish and seafood, from tuna and hake to crab and lobster, all to be washed down by a glass of Sidra. Cider, is the local drink in Asturias and definitely a good subject for another post!
After lunch you can go for a walk up the small streets. It will be exhausting, but well worth the views from the top. Alternatively, a visit to the light house or one of the nearby beaches (Aguilar, del Silencio o Concha de Artedo) is also highly recommended.
