The Principality of Asturias is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2013, scientists discovered the oldest human settlement in the region. More than 400,000 years ago, the 'Homo Heidelbergensis' lived there, in Cabo Busto (Valdés).

Gastronomy and fun

After a day of hiking, try the best seafood. There are numerous Gastronomic Days during the year in Asturias, which further highlight its delicacies. They are accompanied by fun local parties, folk music and regional dances.

Natural protected areas

Due to its orography and beauty, Asturias is the European region with the largest area of protected natural sites. There are many protected caves and trails both towards the coast and towards its rural heart. If you love nature, you are in the right place.

Asturias is quite isolated due to its mountainous relief. Route A-66 connects it to Seville, as it crosses the Cantabrian mountain range. You can also get there by train from the rest of the peninsula. Its airport has daily connections with Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Barcelona, Lanzarote and Seville. There are weekly flights to other cities in Spain and Europe such as Brussels, London and Geneva.

The climate in Asturias is generally oceanic, with abundant rainfall throughout the year and mild temperatures both in winter and summer.
