Eating in Cudillero

This beautiful sea village, where the colors get mixed with the landscape, is worth the visit. Also, the views from the top of the hills are simply incredible. Eating in Cudillero will allow you to taste the typical gastronomy from Asturias. Don't you want to know what the curadillo is?

What to eat in Cudillero

The old Villa de Saín, Cuideiru in Asturian and Cudillero in Spanish, is a great stop where you will be able to taste a huge variety of dishes, from the traditional fabada, made with the Fabada Asturiana with I.G.P., to the fish and seafood from the Cantabrian ocean, served with the delicious cider from Asturias with D.O.P., produced in this region.

The most pixueto (Asturian dialect from bable) dish to eat in Cudillero is the curadillo, that was traditionally eaten during the vigil of the sailors when they couldn’t leave to fish. Gatas, dogfish, or any other fish, are previously put to get some air and exposed to the sun, and can be eaten at the Festival del Curadillo every year. If you are also a sea lover, you could try to go to the Jornadas de la Merluza del Picho, annually celebrated thanks to the participation of many restaurants of the region.

The pixín (monkfish), the red sea bream a la espada or the Abaroque sardines are also specialties of the village. You could also try the delicious Afuega’l Pitu cheese, also typical of this region, with D.O.P..

To make your day more sweet, why not try the rice pudding, some bullinas (sweet empanadillas), some frixuelos, turrón de tabique and the pixuetinos.
