a very different and interesting part of spain

asturias is located in the northern part of spain and very different from the spain most tourists know.
it's not the place you go to seek sun and discos full of tourists, but the place you go if you like amazing nature, charming fishing villages and a culture that is a mix of north and south europe.

the asturians.

one of the beautiful inhabitants of asturia.

the inhabitants of asturia are spanish, but there is a strong influence from the outside world as the asturians have migrated a lot to the americas and because of it's location by the bay of biscaya it has also attracted a lot of emmigration from the north.

asturias is a great outdoor place.

cnyoning asturias.

when i was in asturias i went hiking and canyoning and repelled down a waterfall.
great experience even if it was february and quite cold (we had wetsuits on for the repelling and the canyoning).
aturias is in general a very good place to go if you like the great outdoors.
a green rochy coastline with some very dramatic mountains as a backdrop makes a good setting for a hiking holiday.

What a beautiful part of Spain! I just might add it to my itinerary. Not sure if I can talk the whole family into rappelling down a waterfall, though...
