Imagine waking up in a place where for 165 years, lighthouse keepers led sailors. Now you are the keepers – not of the light, but of your own peace. Welcome to the lighthouse in the village of Cudillero, where the Vikings once chilled.

This isn't just any fishing village – it's a colorful gem of Asturias that could put many Spanish coastal postcards to shame. But hey, you didn’t come here to sightsee! Your destination is the lighthouse, which has transformed from a stern ocean guardian into the most original hideaway on the coast.

From the bed, you can see the Atlantic waves crashing against the rocks. Get up? Only to refill your wine glass and return to the jacuzzi. The fireplace crackles merrily, as if saying, "Stay here forever." But if you really must go (do you really have to?), a private garden awaits – perfect for guests who prefer to conquer lounge chairs rather than distant lands. And if you catch the exploration bug, remember: the local restaurants serve fresh fish straight from the fishing boat.

In summer, diving in the port is tempting – who knows, maybe the lost Viking treasure lies there? Or surfing on the nearby beaches. Or simply returning to the lighthouse, to the terrace, to feel like the king or queen of Asturias, savoring the sunset. Because whoever has their own lighthouse, will never lose their way in Cudillero.
