About ASTURIAS - NORTH SPAIN

Nature, History and Tradition


Asturias is the most outstanding representative of "Green Spain" and is located north of the Iberian Peninsula.

But there is also very rich gastronomy famous for the quality of the raw materials from the sea, orchards, and mountains, as well as a rich history with abundant pre-Romanesque traces and culture with a significant Celtic influence.
