Cudillero: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Cudillero is a fishing village set in a natural amphitheatre arranged around its harbour. Around the harbour, the colourful fishermen’s houses on the steep cliffs form an almost horseshoe-shaped settlement. Those who have chosen Cudillero as their travel destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.

Coast and Landscape

The Entrecabos route runs along cliffs, viewpoints and small coastal villages between Faro de Cabo Vidio and Playa del Silencio. At Cabo Vidio, La Iglesiona lies below the lighthouse: a natural cave with a rounded dome that reaches a height of 60 metres.

Playa del Silencio is a bay protected by cliffs and rocky islets of various sizes. Its access route is approximately 500 metres long, descends on foot and includes numerous steps. At Playa Gueirúa, sharp-edged rocky islets rise from the sea; they originated from the remains of a headland made of quartz and slate that was destroyed by fracturing. Access to Playa Gueirúa initially follows a path and then continues via steps.

Playa Concha de Artedo has been awarded the Blue Flag and combines pebbles with golden sand at low tide. The beach is 760 metres long and offers food and drink facilities, showers, a car park, a lifeguard service and pedestrian access. Playa San Pedro de la Ribera, also known as Playa San Pedro de Bocamar, has held the Blue Flag for many years and received the Q for tourism quality in 2012.

Paths and Activities

The Ruta de Miradores in Cudillero includes inclines and steps. The path to Cascada del Gorgollón follows the Sangreña River to a waterfall beside an old mill; there, the waterfall forms a small natural pool.

Playa de Oleiros can be reached via an approximately 20-minute walk along a pine-lined path and then by climbing several flights of steps. Playa de Oleiros is suitable for angling, surfing and windsurfing.

Culture and Local Traditions

Santa María de Soto de Luiña is one of Asturias’s most significant Baroque ecclesiastical ensembles. The Brañas Vaqueiras route begins at the Church of San Martín de Luiña; an inscription on the floor there recalls the exclusion of the vaqueiros de alzada.

In El Pito, the Church of Jesús Nazareno preserves the altar of King Silo, considered the oldest altar in Spain. The Palacio Selgas is also located in El Pito. It forms part of a significant ensemble with a church and schools and is distinguished by its landscape architecture and valuable works of art.

Cudillero’s local identity includes the designation “Villa Pixueta” and the Pixueto speech tradition.
