ASTURIAS

PROVINCES:Asturias

The region (autonomous community) of Asturias is on north coast of Spain. To the north is the Bay of Biscay and it borders the Spanish regions of Galicia to the west, Cantabria to the east and Castilla y León to the south. Its most well known cities are the provincial capital, Oviedo, the seaport and largest city Gijón, and the industrial town of Avilés.

The Cantabrian Mountains form Asturias's border with the province of León to the south. In the eastern range, the Picos de Europa National Park contains the highest and arguably most spectacular mountains. The Asturian coastline is extensive, with hundreds of beaches, coves and natural sea caves. Most of Asturias' beaches are sandy, clean and bordered by steep cliffs.

The climate of Asturias, as with the rest of northwest Spain, is more varied than that of parts of the country. Summers are generally humid and warm, with much sunshine, but also some rain. Winters are cold with occasional very cold snaps.
