1. Cudillero
We start our tour in one of the most beautiful towns in Asturias. Cudillero looks like a movie set, with its amphitheater shape open to the sea. And it is that this town was built in the shelter of three mountains.
The downhill streets, which lead to the port ramp, seem like a crossroads. A swarm of cobbled alleys with colored houses built side by side that give it that particular charm. And when you arrive at the port, there is nothing like tasting the typical gastronomy in one of its establishments, based, of course, on seafood.
2. Ribadesella
This is another charming town in Asturias that deserves a visit. And it is that the list of its attractions is almost as long as its beaches. Attractions as old as the Tito Bustillo caves and their rock art. Or as incredible as the River Sella, the scene every summer of the famous descent in which thousands of athletes participate.
And of course it has a nice old town. In Ribadesella you have to stop at the Guía hermitage and enjoy the beautiful Santa Marina promenade, with its Indian houses. And there is more, from the dunes of Playa de Vega to the dinosaur tracks that can be seen on its cliffs.
3. Bowls
Another small but charming fishing village built in the shelter of the mountains. A town with history, because it was here that five centuries ago, in 1517, Carlos I from Flanders landed. And it seems that the emperor fell in love with the place at first sight.
Tazones has several neighborhoods, among which the San Miguel and San Roque neighborhoods stand out, both declared Historic-Artistic Complex. Its old fishermen’s houses, with their cheerful colors, will enchant you. And you also have to see such interesting places as the Casa de las Conchas, the historic lighthouse or the dinosaur footprints.
