Ultimate Asturias travel guide 🇪🇦

Ultimate Asturias travel guide 🇪🇦

Laura Bornstein
Asturias is a mountainous and coastal region in the North of Spain that is well known amongst Spaniards for it's natural beauty, incredible hikes, natural beaches and delicious food. It's a different side of Spain, a far cry from the Mediterranean beaches and extravagant parties most international tourists know, but in my opinion, it's the best Spain has to offer. It is relatively unknown amongst international tourists. This guide to Asturias is the result of my experience traveling multiple times to this region and dozens of hours of research. It has all the information you will need to travel to this part of the world and save you hours and hours of planning and stress. I have included numerous recommendations on natural parks, hikes, beaches, towns and other places to visit, as well as 15+ accomodation and eating-out options in different areas of Asturias. Most importantly, I have included information on how to get to Asturias and how to move around the region, currency, travel safety, and visa and entry requirements so you don't have to be too bothered by the logistics. I've got you covered! This guide is divided into sections so you can read the entire guide or go to the sections that interest you the most. It also includes an interactive map and it's mobile-friendly, so you can access all the info on your phone when you download the thatch app, and, most importantly, this is a living guide, so I'll update this at no extra cost to you.

ARRIVAL

You can fly into Oviedo (the regional capital of Asturias and one of it's major cities) or arrive there by train or bus from other major cities like Madrid.

You can also drive into Asturias from other regions, it's aproximately a 7 hour drive from Madrid and a 2 hour drive from León.

GETTING AROUND

The easiest way to get around Asturias is by car. I recommend renting a car to explore the remote mountains, beaches and towns. I think this is an absolute must if you're interested in seeing nature and beaches in Asturias.

Take into consideration that you must be at least 20 years old to rent a car in Spain. Some reputable companies are Europcar, Enterprise, Cicar and Avis.

When it comes to walking around it's perfectly safe to do so, including at night in most areas.

As for public transport, Asturias is well linked with other Spanish cities by plane, train and bus, but again, I would recommend driving to move within the region.
