Asturias, Paraíso Natural de España – short version
Asturias, the Natural Paradise of Spain
Most of our cultural notes include audio. A few, like this one, do not. After reading this, try the long version.
Short Version
Asturias, the Natural Paradise of Spain.
One of the coastal regions of the Spanish northwest, Asturias, is known as the Natural Paradise of Spain.
This name will not be a surprise to anyone that visits this region at least once. This province, as a great
contrast with the rest of the country, is a small region dyed in a variety of green tones. It is covered by
exuberant vegetation from the Cantabric Range to the coastal areas. The wild landscapes, clean and pure will
captivate the view of any visitor throughout in this region.
Asturias, Paraíso Natural de España.
Una de las regiones costeras del noroeste español, Asturias, se la conoce como El Paraíso Natural de España.
No ha de extrañar el nombre si se visita al menos una vez. Esta provincia, como contraste del resto del país,
es una pequeña región teñida de una inmensa variedad de tonalidades verdes. Está cubierta de una vegetación
exuberante desde la misma Cordillera Cantábrica a las zonas del litoral. Los paisajes agrestes, limpios y puros,
acaparan la vista de cualquier visitante de extremo a extremo de la región.
