Exploring Asturias – the home of Paradise

Asturias, a small region in northern Spain known as “Asturias Natural Paradise,” boasts a stunning coastline with over 200 beaches, lush green landscapes, and traditional fishing villages. Just 40 km from the sea lie the Picos de Europa, Spain’s oldest National Park, offering high mountain peaks and scenic hikes.

The region is a haven for ecotourism, with over a third protected as nature reserves, ideal for wildlife watching, hiking, and cycling. The famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes—Camino Primitivo and the Coastal Way—pass through Asturias, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Asturias also preserves rich cultural heritage, including prehistoric cave art,

Pre-Romanesque architecture, and since 2024, Asturian Cider Culture as World Cultural Heritage. The region’s main cities—Oviedo, Gijón, and Avilés—offer historic charm and safety, while rural villages maintain traditional architecture and welcoming accommodations like “Casonas Asturianas” and “Aldeas.” Whether in the city or countryside, Asturias is a peaceful and sustainable destination for nature and culture lovers alike.
