7Cudillero, Asturias

Asturias may not be Spain’s most famous coastal region, but it hides one of the country’s most picturesque fishing villages: Cudillero.

Painted houses cascade down a steep hillside toward the harbor, creating a postcard-perfect view. Legend says each house was painted a different color so fishermen could spot their home from the sea. Beyond the village charm, Cudillero offers delicious seafood and nearby hidden coves where you can enjoy the rugged beauty of Spain’s northern coast.
