Not trying to be snobbish but also the average tourist visiting the North is very different from the typical tourist who comes to Spain looking for sun and party. We usually are very proud of our tourists up here. They are looking for other things for their vacation and they often behave in consequence.
That's not snobbish, when you visit it's actually really obvious. We think thats one of the reasons we vibed so hard with the North, it really had the sort of feel we look for vs the party life of Barcelona (which I once loved, but not interested in these days). - Dane
@@DanegerAndStacey It's true, I'm from Barcelona and tourists here are so annoying and disrespectful, I wish people would come here to see the beautiful sites and historic cities. There is so much beauty in Catalunya but Americans and Brits only come to Barcelona to trash our beaches and be drunk at 4 pm
Hombre el sur.. como concepto, un poco amplio no? Porque mi ciudad (Sevilla) esta en el sur y afortunadamente el turismo de Sevilla es completamente cultural, no es turismo de fiesta, no tenemos playa y fue considerada por algo la mejor ciudad a visitar en 2018, tu comentario es un poco.. bueno..
@@robert111k we don't sell it. bussines man do. we want our land free of trashy europe burned drunken idiots. Then if you go to Germany or UK and do what they do in our country you go to jail. fuck these tourists really
I've been all over Spain and loved the North just as much as the South. So different in architecture, wet and green, amazing people... It's a shame that people do the same ol sun and beach stuff in Spain along the southern and eastern coasts and miss out on Galicia, Asturias and the Basque country.
And not only coasts and islands, we also have beatiful landscapes, mountains, cities, villages and castles in the interior, the inland (and the interior is not only Madrid).

It's actually not a shame, but a relief, so we don't have to deal with spiking rental prices and all the nonsense and pain that comes from tourism. I don't want my region to live off tourism, thank you.
Most tourists visit the south for the Sun, Mediterranean sea, resorts and cheap package holidays. The north is Spain's hidden secret. Beautiful green scenery, paradise like beaches, sophisticated small cities full of great architectures and a very chill out and civilized place, not over run by tourists and not so over populated. Love the North.
As an art student, this is probably one of the countries with the most unique varieties of architecture. Great and unique painters and an extremely good catalogue of literary masterpieces. Along with museums and even contemporary artist of today that are in the top of their fields (some of which sadly had to leave, Spain is sadly not filling the needs of scientists, artists and other intellectuals at this moment in time). Not to start talking about the beautiful landscapes, our painted like skies and our biodiversity along with rich history.
@@mslightbulb But note that all are because Spain is a multucultural and multilanguage country, from Basque Country to Canary Islands and from Galicia to Menorca Island. Not and homogeneous and monolingual country, except significantly around the capital Madrid. Travelers and tourists like that choice when know, but for mass tourism is not specially interesting.
Asturias is so beautiful, I'm from Barcelona, but since I was 6 months old we go there every summer, it's a family tradition. I'm glad more tourists are discovering these "not typical" destinations in Spain :)
We're so glad we got to discover it as well! We've been wanting to go back to Barca for some time, but seeing the North was so amazing. Spain has so much to offer :)
MeronPan4 lo último que necesitamos en Asturias es una masificación turística como os pasa a vosotros (y de la que por suerte aún estamos lejos), pero gracias por la buena opinión ;)
Barcelona is my favorite city in the world, but like you said getting out of Barcelona and the other major cities is where I felt like I saw the real Spain as far as all the different cultures and that Spain is very pretty with history everywhere..
very well put together video, guys. Asturias is, in my opinion, the most beautiful region in spain. It is also one of the most importatn history wise since the begining of what you could call the "spain's legend" starts here. there's a shrine, hiden in the moutains, called covadonga in honor of the first "hero" of spain. In the year 711 the moors had conquered almost all the iberian peninsula but the northern regions, protected by the mountains. Don Pelayo, defeated the morish troops, begining a 700 year period of wars called the reconquista. at the end of which in 1492 the country of spain was born under the spanish monarchy of the Catholic kings Isabella and Ferdinand and america was found by Cristopher Columbus. The principality of Asturias is full of history and beautiful places
Dude!! Thanks for the info. I was in the military and lived in a few countries, but Spain to me is the bomb. Went there for the first time in 2014 with my wife because she wanted to go since always. We are both from Puerto Rico although born in the US (NYC and Chicago) and of course from spaniard descendants... Anyways, back to Iberia. The food, the people, the history, the sites, second to none. We have been to 6 countries in Europe, but Espana, la mejor! Austria, Czech Republic, close seconds, France is close, but Paris really sucked... Now, is funny to me how our food, culture and words are attached to old Spain without our unconsious knowledge. Be well and bon chance.
Camino del Norte is the most beautiful way. My girlfriend and I also started from Irún, we went to Santiago(Santander was probably my favorite city). Most memorable shit I ever did. We walked 830km or like 516 miles. If you went from Irún to Santander I would say that's more like 200 miles than 200km.
I've been going on holiday to Asturias for the last 13 years... it is absolutely wonderful. The nightsky is unbelievable, the food exquisite and it is a natural paradise. I recommend it 100%. All coming from a 'madrileño'.
So glad you've visited my homeplace! It has a lot of hidden beauties (such as the Indian houses of Colombres or Pria's blowholes, Tito Bustillo cave, etc), and the best part is the food (no doubt). I hope you really enjoyed it. As an Asturian i'm in love with my land but i also need to go abroad and then come back to appreacite it more, 'cause there's a saying that says something like 'you always want whatever you don't have'. As people in the comments says, Spain has a lot of contrasts depending on the region (North, Castile, South, the capital city of madrid, Barcelona, Canarias...), it's fun. Thank you guys for such amazing video, a big hug!
Yup - we're from NZ! We definitely see what you're saying about leaving to appreciate - we travel 11 months of the year and go back to NZ and love what we see all over again. We can definitely see the beauty in everything though and Asturias wasn't even difficult to spot it, we loved the feeling there and definitely hope we can return and see more.
GRACIAS!! por enseñar el norte de España al mundo, es una cultura totalmente distinta al resto del pais, GALICIA,💗ASTURIAS💗CANTABRIA💗EUSKADI💗 Y NAVARRA💗,preciosa costa ,quien conoce asemeja el parecido a la costa escocesa, limpias playas,buenas carreteras y comunicación gastronomía estupenda de productos de la tierra, se come divinamente en todo el norte, estupendos hoteles y diversos alojamientos , bailes culturales e instrumentos musicales propios: muñeira con gaitas gallegas y asturianas ,danzas vascas en Euskadi con el txistu y danborra que es un tambor pequeño, la zalaparta,un instrumento muy antiguo y tambien acordeón,una música muy de la zona es la trikitixa en Navarra las jotas navarricas...etc mucha cultura en general y buenas gentes fue una zona poco invadida por otras culturas y mantiene sus constumbres gracias

Im from Asturias and i have been in almost every place in spain and i can tell you that is the most beautiful part of spain, in the video i could see my house :)
This brings back memories! I'm from Catalunya, and I went to Asturias last Christmas with my family, and I was so happy to recognize all the sites you showed here! Asturias is one of my fave places in Spain. I'm currently living in Toronto, and I miss Catalunya and Spain so much!
Thanks, so much, for such beautiful videos of Northern Spain. We spent 7 days in Basque country last year. We are currently making plans to spend 10 days in Northern Spain this year. You're vids are a tremendous help with our itinerary. Cheers to you and yours
In Asturias there are underrated places too. You need to visit western Asturias, it has so much to offer, and it is even more unknown, even for the spaniards
The north is....endless in a way that....one never fails to fid new and beautiful corners....I'm fm El Bierzo (Leon) and go visit almost every yr.....and every time i enjoy it more....
Love the north of Spain, I'm from Andalucía, tipycal place for holidays, tourists and so on, but the north is so amazing as well! And the food! Wow, this summer I was in Asturias with my boyfriend and we always need to try the local food, if not it feels like we weren't there at all, and Asturias is just outstanding. Another wonderful thing was the people, nice, helpful, talkative, sharing. Love everything! Thanks for the video, it just brings to me such good memories! :))
Oh wow! I think I’ll put Asturias on the list of places to go! I’m a huge fan of old towns and architecture. This place looks pretty amazing. Doesn’t appear to be too touristy? Looking forward to the food episode! 😛
It was really amazing, definitely should be added to the list! Not too touristy at all - our guide mentioned they're mostly domestic tourists anyway. Food ep is dropping tonight, hope you enjoy!
the only tourist you will find in Asturias are either northern europeans who are "allergic" to the heat of anywhere else in Spain and Spanish tourist (us Spaniards in abundance). Asturias in the summer is heaven on earth 25 degrees non-stop, unlike anywhere below Asturias which starts to kick inthe high 30s.
In Asturias there's a unique architecture called Asturian Pre-Romanesque . Most of the buildings are in Oviedo, you Saw one in this video... They belong to a period in which the only Christian kingdom in Spain was Asturias, the rest of the country was Muslim. It was a long time ago, in the VlII and IX centuries, during Charlemagne Empire. It was the first kingdom which defeated the Muslims in the Middle Ages. Dont forget the crosses in the cathedral, they are amazing and similar to Carolingian gold objects. You'll be welcomed... Try the "fabada" and the cider, the way its poured is very original....
I'm from Spain and I live around the middle (in Aragón) and I love the north. The weather in summer is really different from where I live, it's not that hot and you can stay outside without dying or something. Everything looks so beautiful and green. When I go there I usually stay in a small village lost in the mountain but near the beach. All I can say that it's totally worth it and I really recommend going to the north.
I loved it. I went to all the different regions of spain..the north is really cool. From the coastline to the mountains to the valleys its really pretty. Middle age ruins are all around. Although Basque country was my least favorite. La rosia, cantinbria, Asturias, and galacia were very cool culturally to. The National Park of europia is awesome. One of the few places in europe that its easy to see wild big game..
Everytime that I read/hear a foreigner talking about the North of Spain and how underrated is I am glad and angry at the same time. The North of Spain has been there always. Its food. Its culture and folklore. Its mountains and beaches. Its proper snow season and all... Perhaps the North remains undiscovered because that's what the average tourist wants. Cheap beer. Cheap food. Sun sun sun and be surrounded by fellow english speakers and is too lazy to go on its own? Glad You enjoyed your visit and thanks for sharing your experience. You still need to go to Galicia and specialy the Basque Country. :)
Can pretty much agree with what you've said. The reality is, even the Spanish tourism board understands that the North is less visited, or considered, for tourists so want people to be more aware of the options Spain has to offer. There's got to be a tonne of people visiting the same spots that arent just after cheap beer, cheap food and sun and would be stoked to know there are amazing options up North.
Come to Aragón, full of history and the roots of Spain. Navarra is really nice too :) I love all my country, I,m just telling places that are not so know for foreigners as Catalonia, or baelaric Islands for instance 😊
Daneger and Stacey traditionally the people with money in Spain went to the north to spend the summers there , what is today All the most famous costas were fishing holidays , no one contemplated to go there to spend the summers when it was so hot .
@@DanegerAndStacey It is regarded by some as a celtic nation along with the neighbouring province galicia.Irish folk musicians and those from these northern provinces of spain cooperate a good bit.
Thanks for visiting us! Such a nice surprise to discover videos like this where you can find people speaking that high about my city and my motherland!
I live in Asturias, is completly different than the rest of Spain. Celtics and Vikings lived here, and the winter is very cold. If yo go to the forest or the mountain, please, be carefull. Is full of wolves (i LOVE them)
Great video, I have Spanish friends that live in Luanco and have visited Asturias twice. The scenery and the beaches fantastic also the cider, the drive up to the lakes above Covadonga is must place to visit. Note. Asturias is pronounced as “a” in apple.
@@pablo203 No me refiero a las capitales de provincia solo, de hecho a mi Huesca ciudad no me gusta (Teruel tiene el arte mudejar, no me jodas) pero fuera de las capitales hay mucho patrimonio histórico y natural que no está explotado turísticamente y merece la pena
I spend all my summers there and it was so interesting too see your perception of it guys 😊 it’s literally like the chillest place in Spain, I always say I wanna retire there lol (I live in Madrid). I’m gonna suscribe and I’ll keep watching you are really nice!
The Asturian Pre-Romanesque architecture is unique in Europe, one of the oldest after the Roman Period, previous to the Romanesque style (as its name suggests), buildings of 1200 years of age. The Museum of Art is also an amazing Museum and the Archaelogical Museum as well. Besides the landscapes and food you have to visit the caves with extraordinary Stone Age paintings, not very known even in Spain. There are many treasures to see in Asturias. It's worth visiting and eating fish or meat, and the Cabrales cheese...
Next time check out Santiago De Compostela, amazing little city, a tourist mecca, apparently the 4th busiest tourist spot on the planet, not sure about that, but the food and old city charm are something to behold, throughly recommend it.
I loved your representation,,, you both look intelligent enough for Europe. Simple not laud and pointing out in a intelligent way the old warn out building from ( hundreds of years ) to the more appealing places and the nature as well... THANK YOU from a European
Spain has snow-capped mountains, lush forests, great steppe plains, rivers, lakes, beaches, deserts, and several different climates, Mediterranean, Atlantic, subtropical, high mountains ... it has such an extensive history that they have passed through it and left their monuments the first Neolithic settlers of Europe, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Visigoths, the Arabs ... it has Palaeolithic constructions, Roman, Arab, Gothic, medieval, Renaissance monuments and of the industrialization of the XIX century. ,her variety climatic and historical is impressive.
Oviedo appears in Woody Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (not his best film, Im afraid) after he was awarded with the "Príncipe de Asturias". He thanked the town by filming parts of Asturias in this movie. He added several parts of Avilés as well (he loves lighthouses, dont know why). It was a way of thanking the warm welcome he received there, people in Spain like his movies more than in the USA and the reason you can find his portrait in Oviedo, if anyone wonders why, and its shown in one of these videos...
Great video guys. I've been following your videos for awhile and was hoping you would visit Spain. Hope you continue here as this wonderful country has a lot to offer!
The north is amazing. I love how matural it is. The shoreline is all cliffs and beaches. Really pretty. Make sure you carry cash. Some of the places are so remote you cant use credit cards.
We live in Murcia but often visit areas all over Spain which are all very different. I agree the North is lovely.....but be prepared for a lot of rain and cool weather so bring some suitable clothes! 🍷
Asturias is where all my family are from, specifically Llanes! the only other part of spain I have visited is Barcelona. I love north Spain, we drive from England so we've explored the west of the Basque country on our way. Santander is my favourite city in the area. Bulnes is an amazing place to visit! Sotres is somewhere I always love going to, the drive up isn't fun with really steep hairpin bend and drive ways that you can't even understand how the get the cars up, but has the most beautiful scenery especially on the walk to the shepherds hut. Poo is such an amazing little village outside Llanes with a huge lagoon like beach or San Martin which is a bit of a walk but it gorgeous little cove like beach. Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing opportunity to see this beautiful part of Spain guys! Another great episode too. While you're up in that region I seriously suggest you visit amazingly beautiful Andorra, a micro nation I visited for a work project that's between France and Spain way up in the Pyrenees mountains. I've never seen a TH-cam blogger do one there yet ;) Safe travels, James and Kim
Sounds amazing, a few people mentioning the Pyrenees actually - this was just a fleeting 48 hour taster trip. Will definitely make the effort to come back that way again though!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I was born there and I really love Asturias, it's not the most touristic place in Spain but it's awesome. BTW, you guys passed in front of my house in Oviedo!! 😂 I hope you enjoyed and I encourage everyone to explore the north of Spain
If you enjoyed the West-northen Spain you would also love the Eastern-nord: The pyrenees have so much to offer: old romanic buildings scattered along the forests, huge lakes. There's even a town made of only stone which is next to a artificial lake made where there used to be a village, and you can see the tip of the church tower peaking of the lake (This place called "Tavertet").
Todo el norte español es bellísimo, tienes playas y montañas casi unas al lado d otras,pueblos marineros preciosos, impresionantes monumentos naturales y arquitectónicos, casas d indianos que son una maravilla, buena comida....,saludos desde Cantabria

The north is....endless in a way that....one never fails to fid new and beautiful corners....I'm fm El Bierzo (Leon) and go visit almost every yr.....and every time i enjoy it more....
It definitely seems that way - so much more for us to see and discover!
Place with the best cocido in the world.
Love the north of Spain, I'm from Andalucía, tipycal place for holidays, tourists and so on, but the north is so amazing as well! And the food! Wow, this summer I was in Asturias with my boyfriend and we always need to try the local food, if not it feels like we weren't there at all, and Asturias is just outstanding. Another wonderful thing was the people, nice, helpful, talkative, sharing. Love everything! Thanks for the video, it just brings to me such good memories! :))
3:00 there's a beautiful story ablut this dog. He was a homeless dog long ago and everyone feeded him. He was very sweet with everyone.
We've heard about this - so magical! What a great story
Oh wow! I think I’ll put Asturias on the list of places to go! I’m a huge fan of old towns and architecture. This place looks pretty amazing. Doesn’t appear to be too touristy? Looking forward to the food episode! 😛
It was really amazing, definitely should be added to the list! Not too touristy at all - our guide mentioned they're mostly domestic tourists anyway. Food ep is dropping tonight, hope you enjoy!
the only tourist you will find in Asturias are either northern europeans who are "allergic" to the heat of anywhere else in Spain and Spanish tourist (us Spaniards in abundance).
Asturias in the summer is heaven on earth 25 degrees non-stop, unlike anywhere below Asturias which starts to kick inthe high 30s.
@@115DELDE a ver a ver tampoco les mientas que el tiempo no es lo mejor que tenemos. 😂
In Asturias there's a unique architecture called Asturian Pre-Romanesque . Most of the buildings are in Oviedo, you Saw one in this video... They belong to a period in which the only Christian kingdom in Spain was Asturias, the rest of the country was Muslim. It was a long time ago, in the VlII and IX centuries, during Charlemagne Empire. It was the first kingdom which defeated the Muslims in the Middle Ages. Dont forget the crosses in the cathedral, they are amazing and similar to Carolingian gold objects. You'll be welcomed... Try the "fabada" and the cider, the way its poured is very original....
The north of Spain is like Ireland, the south of Spain is like Morocco. It is a beatiful country, full of contrasts.
The south it's not like Morocco AT ALL XD
Morocco? What Morocco in Narnia?
Ignorant.
Soy español dejad de dar la turra.
John Doe jajajajaja, pues no digas eso, que no es verdad.
Asturias is very beautiful! Such as Galicia and Cantabria. Greetings from Oviedo!
I'm from Spain and I live around the middle (in Aragón) and I love the north. The weather in summer is really different from where I live, it's not that hot and you can stay outside without dying or something. Everything looks so beautiful and green. When I go there I usually stay in a small village lost in the mountain but near the beach. All I can say that it's totally worth it and I really recommend going to the north.
You make some beautiful videos! Northern Spain wasn't on the "to-do" list but it is now :)
Awesome to hear guys - next video is out tonight and will convince you even more :P
Muchísimas .gracias .por visitar ,España.
Gracias
Yo añadiría, gracias por visitar España y hacerlo con respeto y educación.
Love how you say it’s very elegant. It’s such a beautiful city with great people and traditions/history. So happy you enjoyed your time in Asturias.
Definitely had an elegant vibe to it! Totally agree :)
I loved it. I went to all the different regions of spain..the north is really cool. From the coastline to the mountains to the valleys its really pretty. Middle age ruins are all around.
Although Basque country was my least favorite. La rosia, cantinbria, Asturias, and galacia were very cool culturally to. The National Park of europia is awesome. One of the few places in europe that its easy to see wild big game..
Everytime that I read/hear a foreigner talking about the North of Spain and how underrated is I am glad and angry at the same time.
The North of Spain has been there always. Its food. Its culture and folklore. Its mountains and beaches. Its proper snow season and all...
Perhaps the North remains undiscovered because that's what the average tourist wants. Cheap beer. Cheap food. Sun sun sun and be surrounded by fellow english speakers and is too lazy to go on its own?
Glad You enjoyed your visit and thanks for sharing your experience.
You still need to go to Galicia and specialy the Basque Country.
:)
Can pretty much agree with what you've said. The reality is, even the Spanish tourism board understands that the North is less visited, or considered, for tourists so want people to be more aware of the options Spain has to offer. There's got to be a tonne of people visiting the same spots that arent just after cheap beer, cheap food and sun and would be stoked to know there are amazing options up North.
I am from Asturias, i totally agree. Do not forget Cantabria either
Come to Aragón, full of history and the roots of Spain. Navarra is really nice too :) I love all my country, I,m just telling places that are not so know for foreigners as Catalonia, or baelaric Islands for instance 😊
Daneger and Stacey traditionally the people with money in Spain went to the north to spend the summers there , what is today All the most famous costas were fishing holidays , no one contemplated to go there to spend the summers when it was so hot .
It also has a tradition of bagpiping
🏆 Oh really? We didnt see any of that, but wish we did!
@@DanegerAndStacey It is regarded by some as a celtic nation along with the neighbouring province galicia.Irish folk musicians and those from these northern provinces of spain cooperate a good bit.
I play a mean triangle...
@@jamesebola1250 I am sure you do
@@DanegerAndStacey lucky you didnt hear that
Asturias looks tranquil...serenidad😍
That's a great way to describe it!
Thanks for visiting us! Such a nice surprise to discover videos like this where you can find people speaking that high about my city and my motherland!
You're so welcome - we loved our time in your home!
I live in Asturias, is completly different than the rest of Spain. Celtics and Vikings lived here, and the winter is very cold.
If yo go to the forest or the mountain, please, be carefull. Is full of wolves (i LOVE them)
My great-great grandparents were from there! So happy you enjoyed Asturias, it's years I am looking forward to visit my ancestor's land ^^
I'm from Oviedo!! I'm so happy you have liked my town. What a nice trip throught our streets. Thank you!! 💪🏼
Thanks so much
I am a Spaniard and just for venturing beyond our typical crowded spots you've gained a new subscriber. Keep on travelling!
Thank you so much! We love your country, need to come back ASAP
I have yet to consider northern Spain. I'm a foodie channel so am eagerly awaiting your mega food vlog! Immense aerial shots!
We're not great with the food stuff, but will be sharing that mega all you can eat food vlog on Monday :)
Great video, I have Spanish friends that live in Luanco and have visited Asturias twice. The scenery and the beaches fantastic also the cider, the drive up to the lakes above Covadonga is must place to visit. Note. Asturias is pronounced as “a” in apple.
You should visit Aragon: it's a region in Spain full of contrasts: from beautiful historical sites to amazing natural gems
Hay que dar publicidad a nuestra tierra 😉, bien hecho Choli!
@@pablo203 No me refiero a las capitales de provincia solo, de hecho a mi Huesca ciudad no me gusta (Teruel tiene el arte mudejar, no me jodas) pero fuera de las capitales hay mucho patrimonio histórico y natural que no está explotado turísticamente y merece la pena
@@cholizgz9999 A mi Zaragoza tampoco me gusta, que le vamos a hacer :)
@@Acharpl91 A gustos los colores
@@pablo203 en Huesca serios JAJAJAJA
Deberías visitarlo, no tienes ni idea de la maravilla de paisajes que tenemos
I think we need to hire you guys to do our VoiceOvers.... So professional guys 😂💜
Hahaha dunno about that!!
Northern Spain is magnificent.
I spend all my summers there and it was so interesting too see your perception of it guys 😊 it’s literally like the chillest place in Spain, I always say I wanna retire there lol (I live in Madrid). I’m gonna suscribe and I’ll keep watching you are really nice!
So cool to hear! It is such a cool part of the country, loved the vibe there, can't wait to return already... especially for the cidre!
The Asturian Pre-Romanesque architecture is unique in Europe, one of the oldest after the Roman Period, previous to the Romanesque style (as its name suggests), buildings of 1200 years of age. The Museum of Art is also an amazing Museum and the Archaelogical Museum as well. Besides the landscapes and food you have to visit the caves with extraordinary Stone Age paintings, not very known even in Spain. There are many treasures to see in Asturias. It's worth visiting and eating fish or meat, and the Cabrales cheese...
So much more that we’d love to see and discover in Spain!!
Next time check out Santiago De Compostela, amazing little city, a tourist mecca, apparently the 4th busiest tourist spot on the planet, not sure about that, but the food and old city charm are something to behold, throughly recommend it.
There are Ancient Celtic Ruins that predate Jesus as well.
Here I am in New South Wales, 18.000 km away from this place I call home. Missing it so much... Amazing videos guys! Cheers!
You're so welcome - glad you enjoyed!
I loved your representation,,, you both look intelligent enough for Europe. Simple not laud and pointing out in a intelligent way the old warn out building from ( hundreds of years ) to the more appealing places and the nature as well...
THANK YOU
from a European
We really appreciate that! We can't get everything perfect all the time but we try our best :)
Spain has snow-capped mountains, lush forests, great steppe plains, rivers, lakes, beaches, deserts, and several different climates, Mediterranean, Atlantic, subtropical, high mountains ... it has such an extensive history that they have passed through it and left their monuments the first Neolithic settlers of Europe, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Visigoths, the Arabs ... it has Palaeolithic constructions, Roman, Arab, Gothic, medieval, Renaissance monuments and of the industrialization of the XIX century. ,her variety climatic and historical is impressive.
Great video! I’m from Oviedo and Torimbia is our favourite beach. It’s one of the many naturist beaches in Asturias by the way. 🍑 ☀️
Haha we didn't realise that was the case, maybe flying the drone over it was risky then :P
Hi you guys Toured Spain in a bus,but not the north of Spain! Need to go back . Love you're work and vlogs ❤
Sounds awesome - was it a tour company or you just grabbed a van and did it yourself?
Golbus tour 9 nights
Thanks! Will look into it
I love the north of spain
We have been. You are so right , so underrated. Thanks, guys, for a wonderful video. Sending much love❤❤❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thank you so much for the video. You´ve done more good to northern Spain tourism than our goverment spending our tax euros. Keep up the good work!
If you come back to Asturias, I suggest you visit EL MIRADOR DE FITU, LOS BUFONES DE PRIA and CUEVAS DEL MAR.
Very beautiful places, ancients, so many of them from the Celtic times.,. Fairy tale trip,..
The north of spain was less taken in Arab invasions and is better conserved than the middle or the south.,.
Thank very much for sharing this. Asturias, my homeland is a so beautiful place. The world should know more about this place. So close paradise...
Oviedo appears in Woody Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (not his best film, Im afraid) after he was awarded with the "Príncipe de Asturias". He thanked the town by filming parts of Asturias in this movie. He added several parts of Avilés as well (he loves lighthouses, dont know why). It was a way of thanking the warm welcome he received there, people in Spain like his movies more than in the USA and the reason you can find his portrait in Oviedo, if anyone wonders why, and its shown in one of these videos...
Great architecture and scenery as always from your vids. Thank you so much.
We miss it there already!
WOW! Incredible place!
It's a dreamy place!
Try Galicia.... it´s a paradise, you can find culture, food, beaches..... everything
D & S, your videos are mind blowing. Thanks!
You're too kind!
Looks stunning guys! Can't wait for the rest of the series 😉
Thanks Greg - few more to come :)
Great video guys. I've been following your videos for awhile and was hoping you would visit Spain. Hope you continue here as this wonderful country has a lot to offer!
There's sooo much to offer! We've travelled a bit around the South before we made videos, would love to go back next year and share more.
The north is amazing. I love how matural it is. The shoreline is all cliffs and beaches. Really pretty. Make sure you carry cash. Some of the places are so remote you cant use credit cards.
I live in the north of spain and im so happy u could show this to the people out there. Thanks ❤
We live in Murcia but often visit areas all over Spain which are all very different. I agree the North is lovely.....but be prepared for a lot of rain and cool weather so bring some suitable clothes! 🍷
Totally underrated part of the world!
Agree man! Just featured it in our Top 12 Underrated places to travel video
Asturias is where all my family are from, specifically Llanes! the only other part of spain I have visited is Barcelona. I love north Spain, we drive from England so we've explored the west of the Basque country on our way. Santander is my favourite city in the area. Bulnes is an amazing place to visit! Sotres is somewhere I always love going to, the drive up isn't fun with really steep hairpin bend and drive ways that you can't even understand how the get the cars up, but has the most beautiful scenery especially on the walk to the shepherds hut. Poo is such an amazing little village outside Llanes with a huge lagoon like beach or San Martin which is a bit of a walk but it gorgeous little cove like beach. Glad you enjoyed it!
The market that happens on the streets near Almathen at 8:00 is so cool! loads of colours, foods, crafts.
Amazing opportunity to see this beautiful part of Spain guys! Another great episode too. While you're up in that region I seriously suggest you visit amazingly beautiful Andorra, a micro nation I visited for a work project that's between France and Spain way up in the Pyrenees mountains. I've never seen a TH-cam blogger do one there yet ;)
Safe travels, James and Kim
Sounds amazing, a few people mentioning the Pyrenees actually - this was just a fleeting 48 hour taster trip. Will definitely make the effort to come back that way again though!
So nice video ! Regards from Spain
Beautiful shots of Spain
Yo teniendo familia en villaviciosa es un honor que estén ahí / having familly in Villaviciosa i like that you visit i t

Thank you for your visit !. Great pleasure that you came!.
You're welcome - thanks for watching.
El sur de España se parece a Marruecos lo mismo que Noruega a Cuba , no tienes ni idea
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Definitely love chasing the sun! Thanks so much :)
Amazing video. Really beautiful shots! keep up the hard work xoxo
Thanks so much!
Thanks for coming ♥️
Appreciate it, thanks
I was born there and I really love Asturias, it's not the most touristic place in Spain but it's awesome. BTW, you guys passed in front of my house in Oviedo!! 😂
I hope you enjoyed and I encourage everyone to explore the north of Spain
Haha we shoulda stopped in for some lunch
God bless the ones Who praise my country
We loved it
I've just booked a flight after watching this 👍
Please visit Cantabria, it's just amazing
Have heard that! Will definitely explore more next time.
cantabria és mejor que asturias?
Geográficamente es similar, muy bonitas las dos
La diferencia es que la cultura de Cantabria es marcadamente castellana
@@dariodistaso765 Toda la costa del norte de España es bonita, húmeda y verde.
If you enjoyed the West-northen Spain you would also love the Eastern-nord: The pyrenees have so much to offer: old romanic buildings scattered along the forests, huge lakes. There's even a town made of only stone which is next to a artificial lake made where there used to be a village, and you can see the tip of the church tower peaking of the lake (This place called "Tavertet").
Todo el norte español es bellísimo, tienes playas y montañas casi unas al lado d otras,pueblos marineros preciosos, impresionantes monumentos naturales y arquitectónicos, casas d indianos que son una maravilla, buena comida....,saludos desde Cantabria
I feel really like in Britain very very similar
Greetings from Avilés, Asturias!
