A pretty village on Spain's northern coast has been described as one of the country's most beautiful places but many tourists have never heard of it. Cudillero is a former fishing village in Asturias which sits in the shadow of a mountain. Visit Spain says: 'This mountainside village is a constant presence on the lists of Spain's most beautiful villages.
