¡Precioso!
(exceedingly)Beautiful.
Last weekend I visited Cudillero, a small Asturian fishing village which is so precioso it's on the front of my guidebook.

Despite a return bus ticket costing 10 euros and Sunday morning rain, it was most definitely vale la pena (worth it). The village of orange tile roofed houses is built in a bowl surrounded by green mountains, and to make it confusing the overlapping narrow streets appear to follow a circular spiral. I have no idea how anyone gets their post delivered here. Even the white lines supposedly leading to viewing points often cut off under a house or a wall. I found many old and abandoned houses, just left to cave in and several young and feral cats slinking around the narrow alleys. To make it even more picturesque, vintage cars were passing by en-route to a local rally.
This isn't tumblr but to better explain the allure of this magical maze I will bombard you with images.
