Oh, so beautiful.
I remember once taking a plane from the Asturias airport to Madrid on a crystal clear shockingly blue sky day in summer. The plane circled up and around the coast, and I was so dumbfounded by the incredible views that I didn’t even pull out my phone. Which I now regret, even though the views are imprinted in my memory. It was surely one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Asturias has it all — nice cities, villages, coastline, mountains, pre-Romanesque.... what’s not to like?! Ah yes, there is sidra — even though I appreciate its importance to the social fabric and the beauty of its traditions. Not wanting to start a fight with sidra fans, because I have spent many happy hours at long log tables surrounded by happy people enjoying it.
