About Asturias

Asturias is more than just a destination; it’s a piece of our family history. Rafa’s mother's family is originally from here, and summer vacations in Asturias are among his favorite childhood memories.

To this day, we still come to Asturias once or twice a year. It is a place we truly love because it perfectly combines Cris’s love for the sea with Rafa’s passion for the mountains.

We are so excited to share this region’s rich history, incredible food, and world-class scenery with those we love most. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Weather

Asturias is known for its unpredictable weather; you can have a summer day in January just like you can have an autumn day in June.

We're expecting a beautiful day, but just in case, bring a light jacket or sweater. Also be prepared for the possibility of rain. We'll keep updating the forecast.
