El Faro

Cudillero


El Faro's stone-and-timber surrounds and colourful artwork help create a welcoming atmosphere for digging into fish of the day, seafood salads, parrilladas de marisco (mixed grilled shellfish) or even an Asturian beef tenderloin with goat cheese. It's tucked one street back from the port.
