Autumn is an ideal time to escape and discover new places, taking advantage of the mild temperatures and landscapes transformed by the colors of the season. This time of year invites tour towns and corners of Spain that, far from the hustle and bustle, offer a calmer and more authentic experience.
This is precisely what the TikTok user proposes @laurapenauta young woman who has shared her experience visiting one of the most picturesque towns in Asturias. We are talking, of course, about Cudillero, one of the unmissable jewels of the Cantabrian Sea, considered by many to be the most beautiful municipality in Spain.
“It’s a place you have to see, you’re going to fall in love with it,” comments the young woman at the beginning of the publication, while showing the impressive views of the place, a group of colorful houses that climb the land and are located around the square. at different height levels.
But that’s not all. @laurapenaut’s publication does not talk exclusively about Cudillero, as it is a well-known destination for those who enjoy this type of getaway. What the user stands out most about this Asturian municipality is that it houses a unique curiosity: a 300 meter tunnel long connects the port with the rest of the town. But what is so special about it?
«You feel like you are crossing to another place when you walk through it»
The tunnel in question is not only a functional connection between the port and the town center. Its construction across the hillside, with a steep slope, offers an unusual experience. “You feel like you’re crossing to another place when you walk through it,” explains the user, who shows the route inside the tunnel, where the Piñera River flows through the center.
The tunnel structure, clad in stone and brickdates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, although some believe it is even older. In addition to its tourist attraction, the tunnel fulfills an essential function: redirecting the Piñera River channel away from the center of town, which reduces possible inconveniences for residents. In the past, it is said that it could have been used to transport fish from the port without having to go through the town.
At the end of the publication, Laura invites her followers to walk through the streets of the town, to see the viewpoints and the lighthouse, located on a high point with views of the sea. “Every corner has something special”he comments, encouraging his followers to visit the town and explore its landscapes and architecture.
