Asturias, Spain

Asturias Spain

Pack comfortable clothes and shoes – two essentials for any traveller planning to explore the Natural Paradise. Asturias is, above all, nature: forests, beaches, peaks, cliffs, lakes, rivers and caves. Choose routes that suit your pace and places that match your interests. That won’t be difficult in a region where over a third of the land is protected. Asturias boasts the best‑preserved coastline in Spain. Its shores are a succession of fishing villages clinging to rugged headlands, lighthouses poised on wild cliffs, golden‑sand beaches edged with white dunes, traditional fishing harbours and a winding coastal route that runs for over 400 km through constantly changing scenery. Let the Cantabrian Sea cradle you, whether from the calm of solid ground or out on the waves. The local fish and seafood are a delicacy that tastes even better when enjoyed as you gaze at the very waters they come from. Keen to travel back in time? Immerse yourself in Asturian culture. Follow the lines of ancient cave paintings, discover how your ancestors lived in hillfort settlements, admire unique Pre‑Romanesque architecture, delve into the world of dinosaurs at the Jurassic Museum (MUJA) and track their fossil footprints, explore the Museum of Fine Arts, walk a stretch of the Camino de Santiago, and let yourself be captivated by the sound of Asturian bagpipes or by the Opera season at the Campoamor Theatre. Every season of the year welcomes you with a warm embrace. Keep all five senses sharp. Asturias is also a pantry worthy of the most demanding food lover. This is a cuisine built on ingredients sourced close to home: produce from local gardens, fish and shellfish from nearby seas, meat from native breeds, and traditional recipes served either in their classic form or reimagined in line with contemporary trends. No table is complete without one of the region’s many cheeses or a glass of cider – a drink that is part and parcel of Asturian life. Start tasting and let Asturias win you over at the table.
