    Getting TO/AROUND: How to get to Asturias: The national airline of Spain is Iberia, but all major airlines go to Madrid and Barcelona. I have always flown to Madrid's Barajas airport, which is clean and sort of old-fashioned in a cute sort of way.

    The cheapest way is to fly into Madrid or Barcelona and take a train to your destination in Asturias. More expensive is flying into Madrid or Barcelona and renting a car and driving. Aside from the rental fee, the tolls along the way are horrendously expensive. I think it's something akin to two or three hundred dollars. Alternately, you can fly into Madrid or Barcelona and take a commuter flight on Aviaco to Gijon, then take the bus, train or rental car to your desination.

    All of Spain has excellent, safe, clean and cheap public transportation. Cheapest and best (most scenic as well) is the train.

    The best way to get around Asturias are the trains: Asturias has two trains, RENFE and FEVE. FEVE has less stops and is long distance line better for trips longer than 45 minutes. RENFE Cercanias commuter trains are the best way to get from town to town within Asturias within 30 minutes or so.
