Cabo Vidio is a geographical feature of the coast of Cudillero, in the parish of Oviñana, formed by a large coastal ledge with cliffs that exceed 100 meters high in some sections. It is located in front of the Bay of Biscay, in a very prominent point of the western coast of Asturias, next to the lighthouse of Cabo Vidio, which acts as a visual and scenic reference of the environment. The most striking feature of the place are its open views over the cliff line, the sea and the small coves and inlets of the coast. From the viewpoint you get a wide panoramic view of the coast, especially appreciated at sunset. Also noteworthy is the Iglesiona, a marine cavity modeled by wave erosion, which can be seen at low tide and summarizes well the dynamic character of this stretch of coastline. Its interest is not only scenic: all this strip is part of the Protected Landscape of the West Coast, a figure of protection that underlines its environmental and geological value. Cabo Vidio is one of the best known natural points of the council of Cudillero and appears regularly in the tourist guides of Asturias for the combination of cliffs, lighthouse, coastal geology and seascape.

The oldest building in the town of Cudillero (13th century), in Gothic style with a square floor plan with buttresses and ribbed vault with pointed arches, it houses the Cristo del Humilladero (Christ of the Humiliator), dating from the 15th century. In the past it was a place of devotion for sailors before the galleys and for legal acts. Restored around 2000, when medieval paintings were discovered in the vault, it currently has a glazed facade, so it is perfectly visible from the outside.

The Gorgollón Waterfall is a natural waterfall located in the valley of Faedo, in the council of Cudillero, Asturias, which is accessed by a path from the river environment. It is a small-scale resource, linked to the humid and wooded landscape of the interior of Cudillero, better known for its beaches, and fits into the typology of a low mountain or valley waterfall. What interests the visitor is the waterfall itself and the riverside environment that surrounds it, with a short hiking route that is very popular among those seeking accessible nature. The available descriptions also mention an old mill next to the waterfall, an element that adds scenic and ethnographic value to the whole. Its main attraction is the combination of simple walk, green landscape and end by the water, in an environment suitable for a quiet visit. The sources consulted present it as a low-difficulty route, a good fit for family excursions and to complete a day in the interior of the council. The sources reviewed do not include a specific environmental protection figure for the waterfall or an associated local legend; its interest is mainly natural and scenic, as one of the best-known small landmarks of rural nature in Cudillero.

Lighthouse on Punta Roballera indicating access to the port of Cudillero, and offering spectacular views of the town, is a privileged vantage point for photographing the Cantabrian coast. Nowadays it is readapted as tourist accommodation. The lighthouse of Cudillero was inaugurated in 1858, it replaced the old signaling system, which consisted in the use of bonfires lit by the fishermen's wives. It was electrified in 1930. In 1945 a siren was installed, which emits the letter "D" in Morse code, since the letter "C", which would be the logical one, was already used by the Candás lighthouse.

The Church of San Pedro de Cudillero is a parish church located in Plaza San Pedro, in the historic center of Cudillero (Asturias), at coordinates 43.56305, -6.14609. It is dedicated to San Pedro, patron saint of sailors and the town, and is part of the local religious heritage of the council. It was built in the Renaissance period, in the mid-sixteenth century, at a time of prosperity linked to fishing and trade, although with an archaizing architectural language, of Gothic character. The main funding was provided by the residents of the port, which underlines its value as a community work linked to the seafaring history of Cudillero. The building has a single nave with side chapels, ribbed vaults and a semicircular apse. Among its most outstanding heritage elements are the carving of St. Francis of Assisi and the image of Christ Crucified on a baroque altarpiece, both dating from the first third of the 17th century. In the sources consulted it appears as a parish church, although in some tourist directories it is classified generically as a church or hermitage; due to its typology and liturgical use, the most accurate denomination is parish church.

Converted into a parish church at the beginning of the 17th century under the patronage of Nuestra Señora de la Humildad, this majestic temple with a Latin cross plan and square tower stands out for its imposing baroque architecture, its unique zoomorphic gargoyles and its magnificent interior altarpieces.
