The Kingdom of Asturias

My travelling to Asturias started in winter 2005 when I took the booklet about this region in the tourist exhibition in Riga. I decided to dare and to go to not so popular region.
Actually Asturias is very famous region for Spanish, they go there during their summer holidays. I and my husband Andrey (his photos I used in my Asturias Page) were rare non-Spanish tourists there and it was wonderful!

Muchas gracias!

Pablo (pablogarcia in VT) and Juanjo (supermediania in VT) thank you for your help!!!

I laughed when I read your one and only danger tip - about cows. We'll be visiting Asturias in 6 weeks. What a gorgeous place! Your husband's photos and your tips are excellent!

Nice pages and photos on the Asturias and Cantabria. How did you do to have sunshine there? I didn't see the sun during the 5 days I spent there in June!
