Asturias & Cantabria, Northern Spain

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Asturias and Cantabria are two neighbouring regions along Spain's rugged Atlantic coast, often referred to as "Green Spain" for their lush landscapes that contrast sharply with the sun-baked south. The area is defined by the dramatic Picos de Europa mountain range, a magnet for hikers and climbers, as well as pristine beaches, medieval towns, and some of Europe's finest prehistoric cave art at sites like Altamira. The coastline draws surfers to spots around Liencres and Rodiles, while the interior rewards foodies with Asturian cider culture and some of the best cheese-producing traditions in the country. Travellers come here for outdoor adventure, authentic Spanish culture away from the tourist trail, and landscapes that feel wild and largely undiscovered.
