Cudillero is a pretty village. But even on a weekday it's a very busy place, it's popular. But for…read moregood reason, it's a nice place to be and to see.
Most of the action is here around the small port area. Parking is just a short walk away on the west end and costs only 2.50 a day. It's a nice little walk along the water and soon after you'll end up here. Many restaurants and cafés cater to all the visitors. Some cheaper, easier and simpler options are a bit further into the village. But the village is a small one. You can walk through within a few minutes.
But we actually stayed quite a good while that day. Because despite its small size, there's plenty to do and see. Some arts&craft stalls right by the water, lots of good restaurants with wonderful fish and seafood, small locals shops with nice products, of course souvenirs as well if you like, a nice harbour area to walk around or to sit down and watch the world go by. A viewing platform, a faro (lighthouse) and much more.
Yes, it is very busy - but rightly so. Of course there are many pretty villages like this all over Northern Spain - but you definitely need to see Cudillero once. We really enjoyed our time here.
