I was in Asturias a few years back and up to now I still dream of going back to this beautiful land.
Oviedo is beautiful!!! I love you OVIEDO i love you ASTURIAS!!!
I am pretty sure Oviedo loves you too :)
10/10 Quality Content in 5 Min.
Stayed in Gijon, Asutiras for 20 days this summer and loved every second of it !!
Staying for longer is always better, you really start to see the city like a local. Safe Travels!
I am from Asturias, born in Luarca and I also lived in Avilés and Oviedo. Asturias is great, especially in the Summer, so many festivals to go to, so many places to visit, always something new to discover. I loved hiking when I lived there, one of the best and easiest ways to see the remote and most beautiful parts of the region. Don't forget to visit Los Lagos de Covadonga if you can, just the ride up the mountain is something memorable. Asturianos are also great people, very friendly, generous and always ready to have and share a good time.
Thanks for the comment :)
Hi Ana! Why did you move away from the area? I was not born in Asturias but my family is from there!! I can't wait to go!
Any suggestions where to stay for 3 weeks: one place or move around? Hôtel or apartment? We will visit in August with our 2 children and want to hike, beach and visit. Many thanks
@@fionacrossley9087 Gijón or Oviedo are two central locations that will allow you to easily go many places by car, bus or train. But, if you want to stay in small rural settings in the mountains or by the coast (Taramundi, Llanes, Luanco, Cabrales...), then you might be better off looking for a "casa rural" (rural house) or a hotel in the area for a while and then change accommodation to a different location you find interesting. If you are interested in history or art, you should also definitely visit Avilés if you can, he doesn't mention it in the video, probably because it is rumoured to be a very industrial and ugly city. While it may be an industrial city, it's old quarter is beautiful and one of the oldest in Asturias, it also has a hyper modern cultural center (Centro Niemeyer) by its port, worth a visit. Hope you enjoy your stay!
@@ceri091 Hi Triv, thank you - this is very helpful. We will have a car. We are looking at the coastal areas for accommodation in August. And I note your tips on Avilés and it's old quarter - it certainly sounds worth the detour.
You have missed Avilés, in spite of its industrial condition, it has the most wide and more preserved historical monuments and buildings
I just moved to Oviedo 3 months ago, from the Netherlands,
it's such an amazing place people, really, So rich of history! plenty to go and see over here, to experience it!
@TheTravelVlogger: if you ever come to Oviedo again, let me know man, got a spare room!
Thanks for this footage, and information about the beautiful Asturias!
Much Love, Fer!
Thanks for the invite Fer! I am sure I will be back soon...possibly to do the Camino de Santiago. Have fun in Asturias!
Wish I could pick up and move there. Curious as to know how you did it. Good Luck in beautiful Asturias !
I will move to Oviedo so soon ! How are you ?
Planing to move to Quirós Valley in 4 years. Love Asturias.
Hoi Fer Dutchman, wij komen dinsdag 3 januari naar Oviedo. Als je nog tips hebt voor een 5 daagse vakantie hoor ik het graag! 👌
Loved this and think I will have to put Asturias on my list of places to visit. Thanks!
You should! All of Northern Spain is great :)
Will do thanks :)
We will welcome you with open arms!! ;)
Beautiful 💜🙏🏻 thank you!
Good! welcome Asturias again👌

Playing Crusader Kings II as the king of Asturias brought me here. I did a lot of research on this place and some of the ancient Visigothic sites still exist there.

I travel to watch football just booked the Asturias derby, can't wait
my great grandfather was from there and had to migrate to mexico because of some crazy king at that time was slaying people left and right, but hey everything happens for a reason!
Por esto Asturias is diferent ❤💯
Hi Brian, much loved your video, very well done, fits nicely in our recent research into the region for future travel. Love your personality, what happened to your channel activity, appears to have paused some years ago? Would love to find out what you’re up to now if still in the blogging realm or…?
Beautiful place, beautiful people. You missed the Covadonga though
Thanks! I will be sure to check out Covadonga next time :)
You must visit my city Avilés. Is the third city in population. We have historical buildings and modern like Oscar Niemeyer. Near is Salinas Beach with kilometers to walk and make surf. So you should go to the west too. Tapia de Casariego and the limits with Galicia in the end of the Eo River. There are most of the best beaches. Especially Tapia de Casariego beach, Peñaronda and Arnao. Famous for the surf challenges in april Semana Santa.
Gracias. Un resumen de mi Tierra estupendo. Ahora espero un Video similar de Gijón, historia , playas , deportes, gastronomía , senderismo y gastronomía.
Gracias!
Maravillosa
It is a fantastic video, thank you so much for promoting Asturias, just one correction in terms of fishing captures, the most important port is Avilés' port, you should come bsck😉, and dedicate more time to this city , you will be always welcome.
Thanks! Asturias is an amazing place, I could easily live there. I always want to come back :)
So if you are driving along the entire northern coast for a 4 week trip, how many days would you devote to Asturias? Thank you for the information. And thanks for listing the places you visited and the hotels.
good. very beautiful the video. but I miss the mountain area ski resorts and especially teach Covadonga. 😊
Thanks! I will have to come back in winter to try skiing there!
Awesome video ❤❤❤ thanks for showing my region ! you have to visit the center of the asturias, the miner region, is awesome too and unknow place. You can visit the Xurbeo Waterfalls, Winter Station "Fuentes de invierno", hiking in " foces del rio pino" route.. If you need a guide I will help u ;) I love show my hometown.
Thanks for the tips! Next time I am in Asturias I will be sure to visit them :)
So pretty. I am not a traditional person so I was annoyed with the pouring of some of those drinks.
But the flora and fauna loos amazing.
Hi! My favourite place in Asturias is Tazones,please have a look.
I'll check it out! Thanks :)
Hey guys, an Asturias girl here. I would like to comment that this video is incredible, awesome. Apart from this 5 tips I would highly recommend to get high af and walk around our beautiful region, you would enjoy it 100%. E-mail me if you have any doubt!!
Thanks Laura, I am actually in Asturias right now doing the Camino del Norte :)
Puxa Asturies !!
That´s great man, but if you do Asturias personally i would recommend you do all of the northern coast : Euzkadi, Cantabria and Galicia (i would throw in Nafarroa for change) and that would give you a real/fuller taste of the North … that will be the place where i will die (if everything goes to plan , naturally)
Great minds think alike, I actually have videos for each region :)
great, thanx will check them out … very nice vidyas !
Navarra is amazing. Almost a country itself.
I like videou.
Hi. I wonder if you had seen anything do to with Celtic and Celtiberian History? Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! We will be there in December. What month did you visit? Must be around summertime.
I am actually here right now walking the Camino del Norte. This video was shot in late September/early October. Safe Travels!
good one! there are some missed spots, but you did an amazing job and hard to show more stuff in just 4 minutes
Thanks! it is hard to get all the spots, but it gives me a good reason to visit again :)
Jose Francisco Arias what is the name of the meat ?could you write it please ..I will visit Asturias in August..I would like to try it..
Sayıl Salcan there is lovely meat here but I didn’t say anything about it :))
Chuleton
The Travel Vlogger thank you...
Going to Gijon in April some tips? What little cities are closely at the sea
You will have a great time! Ribadesella, Llanes and Cudillero are nice....Safe travels!
You missed Aviles third city and best for Carnival parades and Easter processions, also Covadonga basilica shrine.
I will be sure to check out Aviles next time I am in the region.
Fully agree with you Sergio. Estamos de acuerdo
I didn't see any global warming in Asturias!!! Fantastico!!🐝🐝💐💐
Hey! I'm wondering where the horseback tour was and how I can book something like that (or preferably, that exact thing)
Your best bet is to search www.turismoasturias.es/en/home Good luck :)
Quirós y Tapia de Casariego
When is the best time to travel here for warm weather but less crowds?
which village is it at 2:52 ? (ps: beautiful video)
👍 🇪🇸 👍
Oh wow . Who do you see to go hiking ?
Ia the water warm?
Hi you have to visit the village "la cuevona"... You can only enter the village trough a 300m long tunnel full of stalagmites and stalactites.. Puxa asturias, greetings from belgium. Love your videos 👌
Thanks for the tip!
Aviles and Covadonga
What about the pipe?
The Celtic Asturian pipestacks you mean.
i live in gijon
When is the best time to go?
Any time is good, but summer is best. Safe travels :)
Summer !
The Travel Vlogger summer is perfect because it's not too hot as in the rest of Spain
July,August,and September.
Definitely summer!
Lagos de covadonga
You missed Covadonga !
Now I have another reason to come back :)
Are there any Asturians watching this video who speak the real Asturian language?
Hi there. First of all, congratulations for the video, I think we need more of these publicity in our region.
However, I would like to point out that flighing drones over buildings (Oviedo and Gijón) and inside the CTR from Asturias Airport (like the lighthose in Cudillero) was ILEGAL in Spain before December 27th 2017. So, as I say, great video, but please inform yourself about the national laws before flighing and follow the rules as we have to do.
Puxa Asturies

What is that wonderful piece of meat called?
chulaton
Chuletón de ternera!!! 😋
Ok. Thank you!
Cangas de Onis
Gijón is pronounced hee-HONE
I´m sorry, but please, NOTE THAT OVIEDO IS NOT the starting point of Camino de Santiago.
it was the original starting point.
It is the original way,
Is the first road the authentic Camino de Santiago?
The Primitive Way is the route that connects Oviedo with Santiago de Compostela. It is known for being, as its name indicates, the first Jacobean path.
The first pilgrim was King Alfonso II himself, in the year 834. He left Oviedo, crossing the mountains that divided Asturias and Galicia; and the walls of Lugo, until reaching the tomb of the apostle.
Subsequently, many of his subjects followed in his footsteps. These were the ones that created the rest of the Jacobean routes. However, given the weight that Alfonso II had in the society of the time, the passage through the Cathedral of Oviedo, dedicated to the Savior, was established as mandatory.
