This pretty village lacks crowds of tourists, offering an idyllic break in Spain. Cudillero in Asturias, Spain, is known as one of the most beautiful regions in the country. The quiet village is nestled along Spain's rugged Asturian coast and has remained a hidden gem.

Its unique amphitheatre-like layout features colourful houses cascading down steep hillsides toward a tranquil harbour. The village's charm is enhanced by its rich maritime heritage, evident in the bustling port where local fishermen still ply their trade. 

Visitors can explore the village’s small winding streets, savour fresh seafood at seaside taverns, and enjoy panoramic views from various viewpoints. 

Cudillero is one of Spain's most secret destinations and one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Asturias, says European Best Destinations.

One must visit spot in the area is El Silencio beach which is a quiet area where you can enjoy the sun without having to fight for a place to sunbathe.

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Spectacular beach! Immersed in silence, the only sound is the sound of the sea waves. 

“It is accessed by parking the car in a convenient parking lot, paying a few euros. At that point you need to walk a path for about 15 minutes.”

Another penned: “Beautiful scenery but a bit of a hike. Well worth it though. You won’t be disappointed - it is breathtakingly beautiful!
