Asturias

The Cantabrian Mountains define much of Asturias, and their steep valleys have shaped an Atlantic economy of cattle farming, cider apples and industry. At their northern edge, the Cantabrian Sea meets a deeply indented coast of beaches, cliffs and fishing ports; farther south, the Picos de Europa form part of the region’s mountainous interior. Oviedo, the regional capital, preserves major Asturian pre-Romanesque monuments, including Santa María del Naranco, a UNESCO-listed 9th-century church. Asturian cider is poured in a traditional high stream, a familiar ritual in local cider houses. Browse additional webcams around Asturias to extend your view of this northern Spanish region.
