Cross the invisible border between the parched Castilian plateau and Spain’s northern coast, and you’ll experience a dramatic shift in scenery that catches virtually every traveller off guard. The ochre and brown tones of southern Spain suddenly give way to lush, impenetrable greenery, and the air grows heavy with moisture<\/strong> from the untamed Atlantic. Oviedo Spain and the surrounding region of Asturias \u2014 often called Espa\u00f1a Verde, or Green Spain \u2014 feel more like wild Ireland, only with incomparably better food and far more dramatic limestone mountains. Asturias and its capital Oviedo form a world unto themselves, where ancient history blends with breathtaking nature and a distinctive culture you simply won’t find anywhere else on the Iberian Peninsula. Sun-seekers who crave all-day lounging on packed beaches tend to give this corner a miss, because this land belongs first and foremost to foodies, mountain lovers, and enthusiastic drivers<\/strong>. They understand perfectly well that the occasional rain cloud is simply the price you pay for the juiciest pastures and the finest produce imaginable. I’ve put together this detailed guide to help you know exactly what to expect from Spain’s green north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
