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!
During my preparing to the trip to Asturias I had very nice advisers who patiently answered to all my questions.
Pablo (pablogarcia in VT) and Juanjo (supermediania in VT) thank you for your help!!!
The biggest part of pictures in my Asturias page took my husband Andrey. He can "catch the moment" and accents. Enjoy your virtual trip to Asturias by my page. :-)
Bienvenidos!

Absolutely agree that Asturias is for travellers and not tourists. LOVED it!
Cider and a beautiful coast, this is my sort of place!!
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!
Lovely page about a lovely region. Great pics!
great pictures! Looks like you guys had a great time in Spain!
an interesting page about a lovely landscape ! thanks for sharing !
Great page! And nice road sign, by the way:)
Gorgeous Playa del Silencio picture. It looks like you enjoyed fantastic weather in Asturias.
Wow, nice things here - would like to go to Spain someday! ;)
