Asturias: Spain's Natural Paradise



Asturias is often called Spain's Paraíso Natural (natural paradise), and for good reason. Nestled between the jagged peaks of the Picos de Europa and the wild Cantabrian Sea, it feels like a well-kept secret, where cider flows as freely as mountain streams.

A quick look at history



Asturias holds a unique place in Spanish identity. It was the only part of the Iberian Peninsula never fully conquered by the Moors. In 722 AD, Pelayo won the Battle of Covadonga, marking the symbolic start of the Reconquista. Because of this, the heir to the Spanish throne still holds the title of "Prince/Princess of Asturias".

Nature and landscape



If you like greenery, you've come to the right place. The landscape is dominated by:

Picos de Europa: A dramatic limestone mountain range, perfect for serious hikers.

Coastline: Over 200 beaches, ranging from hidden sea caves (like Gulpiyuri) to vast sand crescents.

Lush forests: Home to brown bears, wolves and ancient oaks.

Description: Your next getaway



Imagine the ultimate getaway, where the air smells of sea salt and eucalyptus. Whether you’re looking for a staycation vibe in a cozy rural stone house or an active itinerary through mountain passes, Asturias delivers. It’s a place to relax far from the crowded tourist traps of the south. Picture yourself sightseeing in the morning to pre-Romanesque churches, followed by a sun-drenched afternoon on a secluded cove. It’s the perfect destination for those who prefer to explore rugged trails rather than lie on a crowded beach towel.

?? Typical Foods (The “Gastronomic Feast”)



Asturian food is hearty, soul-warming, and meant to be shared.

Fabada Asturiana: A rich white bean stew with chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), and pork.

Sidra (apple cider): Dry, still, and poured from a height (escanciar) to aerate it. You never pour your own glass!

Cachopo: Two large veal steaks breaded and fried, stuffed with ham and cheese. It’s massive.

Cabrales: A famous, tangy blue cheese aged in mountain caves.

?? Top Activities



Cares Gorge: Known as the “Divine Gorge,” this is one of the most stunning hiking trails in Europe.

Surfing: Towns like Ribadesella and Salinas are places of pilgrimage for surfers.

Lakes of Covadonga: Two glacial lakes (Enol and Ercina) are perched high in the mountains - the views are spiritual.

City hopping: Visit Oviedo for its clean streets and statues, or Gijón for its seafront promenade and Roman baths.

Festivals and traditions



Descenso Internacional del Sella (August): A massive kayak race down the Sella River that turns into one of the biggest outdoor parties in Spain.

Día de Asturias (September 8): A celebration of regional pride with bagpipes (gaitas), traditional costumes and plenty of cider.

Semana Negra (Gijón): A unique festival dedicated to crime fiction with book fairs, concerts and a seaside funfair.
