About this activity

You are going to visit one of the places most visited in Asturias, two charming fishing villages knowing their traditions and way of life from the sea and land.

The first village we will visit is Luarca, knowing as “ the white village of the green coast”, it is a peaceful fishing village since the Middle Ages and preserves many remains of this glorious past. We will enter a journey into the past, the fishing life, and the elegance of the bourgeois style.

Our next stop is Cudillero, one of the most visited places in Asturias, a picturesque fishing village declared a historic-artistic complex in which the houses hang from the mountain wearing bright colors creating a wonderful view. Cudillero is known for its gastronomy mixing tradition and creativity, providing a very pleasant aroma in every street of the town. You will be impressed with the quality and variety of fishing products and If the tides allow us we can see the sailors arrive and attend the fishing auction in the port.
