Located on the rugged coast of Asturias, near the town of Cudillero, Playa del Silencio it is one of the secluded coves in the northern Iberian Peninsula.
As you approach the beach, a winding path leads through the village and then through lush vegetation, gradually revealing a breathtaking view of the coastline. Cliffs, sculpted by the relentless waves of the Cantabrian Sea, form a natural amphitheater that embraces the crescent-shaped shore. The descent to the beach, though steep and somewhat challenging, is well worth the effort.
The beach itself is a mosaic of smooth pebbles and coarse sand. Clear, azure waters gently lap the shore, inviting visitors to take a refreshing swim or simply wade in the shallow waters. The name "Playa del Silencio" (Beach of Silence) is no accident; the only sounds you'll hear are the whispering wind and rhythmic waves, with perhaps an occasional cry from a seagull.
Beyond its visual appeal, the beach is perfect for those seeking peace and reflection. The absence of commercial facilities and the relatively small number of visitors contribute to its untouched charm. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in thought, read a book, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings…
As you approach the beach, you can spot a parking sign. We took advantage of it, and for about 10 euros, the owner offered an overnight stay. You can also skip the parking lot and try to park along the road a bit further away. The return route leads through a narrow, sometimes steep road, requiring a loop back to the main road.
A beautiful, tranquil spot with views that linger in your memory for a long time...
