The pretty but unknown little seaside town that’s one of Spain’s most beautiful

A pretty little town in Spain is building its profile because it is considered one of the world’s prettiest.

The north coast settlement is an eclectic mixture of beautiful natural scenery and electric culture – and is yet to be discovered by masses of Instagram tourists.

What makes Cudillero most special is probably its mishmash of terracotta roofs which blend seamlessly into the surrounding trees, flowers and crystal-clear sea.

The quaint fishing town houses just 5,000 people, meaning the beaches and hills are a sleepy paradise for when you want to walk off the big night before.

Located in the Asturias region, near Gijon and a three-hour drive from Bilbao, you can also lounge around in cafes on the harbour, taking in the magical scenery, Conde Nast Traveller reports.

The town has plenty of seafood restaurants, meaning you can quench your appetite for authentic Spanish cuisine.

Historically, the village was allegedly founded by Vikings and the town has a unique Nordic-influenced dialect which probably arose because of its relative isolation as a result of its geographic terrain.

Other possible consequences of its isolation from the rest of inland Spain include the electric folk dances that can be viewed by tourists.

Meanwhile, pagan-influenced festivals like L’Amuravela are a huge tradition there. Thousands of people line the harbour streets and have a fun time – they always burn life-size papier-mache giants, in a similar way to Las Fallas festival in Valencia.

Another huge attraction is the iconic Cabo Vidio – a fiercely windy cape with jagged cliffs that plummet 100 yards down into the sea. Visitors are recommended to sit by the lighthouse for the best sunset views.

Winter months tend to be quieter, although this can lead to a more authentic getaway. Winter temperatures tend to stay in the low- to mid-teens.
