asturias

Galicia and Asturias have a lot of pale, blue-eyed people who would stand out in an Andalusian crowd.

Eva Longoria or Gloria Stephan descend from Asturian people and are a better example representative of Asturias women.

An Asturias Circanías train collided with debris from a collapsed tunnel wall on Thursday afternoon in Olloniego.

But Asturias is so freaking beautiful, and people are sooo laid back and kind, the best!

I got myself a pretty little condo in Asturias for a steal, at least compared to US prices.

I've spent a lot of time in Asturias myself, and the culture of sidra and the wonderful little bars (sidrerias) that serve it are treasures.

Galicia has Celtic ancestry (they even preserved bagpipes as a folk instrument), and Asturias was the last refuge of the Visigoths when they were crushed by the Arabs in the 8th century.

And not just the south of Cantabria, Asturias and so; the Castilles, Aragon and the mountain regions can amaze tourist as if they were phonied expecting a 'sunny' Spain like the beaches.

You cross a mountain tunnel by car and your warm 28C degrees in May at Leon somehow shifted to a cloudy, gray sky with 15 degrees in Asturias in -literally, measured by clock- ~10 minutes.

Unless you have a crash, not upgrading those signals costs nothing, but, say, the very expensive connection to Asturias was worth a lot, so iffy tradeoffs were made.

Hint: anything non-coast can have dry summers and cold winters, brutal in the mountain regions such as Asturias and Leon, were they burnt coal like crazy, and having temperatures below 0 was and it's still the norm, not the exception.

And, in Asturias/Cantabria/Palencia, at "Picos de Europa", you woudn't believe that these spikey, rough mountains with hard winters belong to Spain.

In addition, there are several localized languages, that are not "official" but "recognized": Aragonese (Aragon), Asturian (Asturias), and Leonese (Castile and León).

From the Google translate of that article: > The concept was born from the chroniclers of the Christian kingdoms “when they recovered what is called the neo-Gothic ideal ” by which “the kings of Asturias, then of León and then of Castile proclaimed themselves descendants and legitimate heirs of the Gothic kings,” >...

It does get too busy in the summer with tourists but just avoid the worst areas (like a New Yorker wouldn't spend time in Time Square for example, I almost never went to "Las Ramblas") or spend part of the summer somewhere else in Spain like most Spanish do, at the beach or escape the heat in "the green Spain" (Asturias, Coruña, etc).

My goal with the guitar is to just learn Asturias, I don't really care about other things.

So is your dad the Chris that went to visit my dad in Asturias, Spain earlier this year?

In the north, Galicia and Asturias, it’s much more frequent to have wooden sheds in the countryside.
