Cudillero, Fishing port in Cudillero, Spain
Description
Cudillero is a fishing port on Asturias' northern coast, where colorful houses curve around a small harbor basin and climb steep hillsides in a tight arrangement. The buildings press closely together, connected by narrow and winding streets that weave between residential and working spaces throughout the village.
History
The settlement grew around fishing and the harbor, with the 13th-century chapel serving as a place for prayer and protection for those departing by sea. The compact building style and colorful houses developed over centuries as generations of fishers built their homes on the rocky shores.
Culture
The fishing community here has shaped how people live and work together, with the port serving as the heart where boats and daily routines reflect the sea's importance. Residents and visitors alike gather along the waterfront, where maritime traditions remain woven into the fabric of everyday activity.
Practical
The village is best explored on foot, as the streets are narrow and not designed for vehicles. The best views of the harbor and coastline are found from the upper levels of the village or by boat.
Did you know?
The houses owe their bright colors to leftover boat paint, which fishers and residents applied to their walls over many generations. This practical solution from earlier times has given the village its characteristic and lively appearance.
