Province of Asturias, Coastal province in northern Spain
The province stretches along the Bay of Biscay, featuring mountains, green valleys, sandy beaches, and 200 kilometers of Atlantic coastline with fishing villages.
The Kingdom of Asturias, established in 722, marked the beginning of Spanish resistance against Moorish rule and initiated the Reconquista movement.
The region preserves its distinct language, Asturiano, while maintaining Pre-Romanesque architectural sites recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage monuments.
Visitors can reach Asturias through Asturias Airport, located near Avilés, connecting to major European cities including Madrid, Barcelona, and London.
Asturian cider houses follow specific pouring traditions, where servers raise bottles high above their heads to aerate the beverage before consumption.
