Cabo Vidio
Cudillero, Spain
A lighthouse on high cliffs west of Cudillero, with sea caves below and views along the whole coast. Quiet and easy to reach from the N-632.
The lighthouse at Cabo Vidio was built in 1950 after many shipwrecks and is regarded as the last lighthouse built in Asturias. It stands about 90 m above the sea. The cape lies near Oviñana (municipality of Cudillero), about 10 km from Cudillero according to the Asturias tourist board. On the eastern side the rock falls away almost vertically, by 80 to nearly 100 m depending on the source, and there are no fences. On a clear day you can see east to Cabo de Peñas and west to Cabo Busto.
You can park near the lighthouse, but the tourist board advises leaving the car in Oviñana and walking. The viewpoint trail from the lighthouse is about 2 km long (20–25 minutes). Anyone afraid of heights should avoid the unprotected eastern side, children need close supervision, and it can be very windy. The sea cave of Iglesiona, about 60 m high, can only be reached by a steep path with ropes; local guides, a calm sea and low tide are recommended.
