On Spain’s north coast, this single province region is home to the stunningly rugged Costa Verde that is noted for its beautiful sandy beaches.
The lush landscape comes at the price of higher annual rainfall, but it still draws climbers, walkers, cavers, kayakers and nature lovers to the peaks of the Picos de Europa National Park.
Large centres of population in Asturias include the cities of Gijón, which is located on the Bay of Biscay’s west side and about 12 miles north Oviedo, the region’s capital.
Provinces: A single province region.
