Asturias Travel: Pre-Romanesque Art at Santa María del Naranco and La Balesquida - a Big Festival in Oviedo After a much needed restful sleep on my arrival day at the Barcelo Oviedo Cervantes Hotel, I woke up early at 7 am and was ready for my first full day in Asturias, a beautiful region in the north of Spain that offers a combination of high mountains and ocean. During the morning I was planning to get to know the capital, Oviedo, in a walking tour with local culture and tourism expert, Liliana Ausín, who had been selected for me by Turismo Asturias. But before I embarked on my guided tour, I had a quick breakfast in my hotel which featured a large buffet with different types of cheeses, smoked salmon, cold cuts, freshly baked breads, fresh fruit juices and a large assortment of sweets, croissants, muffins, yoghurts and cereals. Then I headed out for a quick walk through downtown on this gorgeous day. With less than an hour before my scheduled tour, I walked through Oviedo's downtown, through its famous Campo de San Francisco Park and also came across the Mercado del Fontán, the city's municipal market. Further west on the Calle del Marqués de Santa Cruz I stopped to...more

Spain Travel – Asturias: Bermiego, an Asturian Mountain Village To get to know the outdoor travel opportunities in Asturias, we had spent the morning cycling along the 22 km long Bear Trail or Senda del Oso, and local tourism expert Ana had explained all the different Asturian tourism offerings to me, from outdoor adventure to history, culture and culinary experiences. Now we had finished our biking tour and Tito Conde, my outdoor adventure guide, and his friend Estefania packed me in the car and we started to drive up the steep slopes of the Asturian mountains. After a drive on narrow and steep winding roads we stopped in a local Asturian mountain village called Bermiego. This is one of those villages that look like nothing has changed over the last couple of hundred years. I would guess that very few tourists ever make it to this small village; that is why it has this wonderfully authentic rural feel to it. Cows and sheep were grazing on the steep mountains surrounding us; and the sound of cowbells was filling the entire narrow valley. The high mountains across from us were still covered in snow. We parked the van and started to walk through this village with its...more
