Holiday Rentals Asturias and Holiday Homes Asturias

Northern Spain possesses a pristine emerald beauty in Asturias, as rolling green pastureland is dotted with medieval farmhouses with cosy holiday apartments and quaint fishing villages alongside the sometimes-rugged, always-scenic coastline exquisitely preserve an ageless way of life. Yet overlooking all of this gorgeous scenery are the snow-capped spires of the Picos de Europa, or “Peaks of Europe” mountain range that soar majestically above the landscape.

An interesting feature of Asturias’ history and culture is that it evolved differently from the rest of Spain as a result of its isolation. With a strong local dialect, it could even be considered its own country. You would almost be fooled until, of course, the natural, smiling warmth of the locals gets the better of you and you realise that, after all, you are in sunny Spain.

Begin your exploration of the Asturias region at Santander, the main hub of transportation for the region, from which you can set off for the coast or venture inland as few tourists actually do. Indeed, this virgin land is not hyped up by the guidebooks, but only because it lacks a strong tourism infrastructure. An adventurous traveler should jump at the opportunity to explore an untouched landscape and local way of life by immersing themselves in a holiday rental for a time. Renting a car is by far your best mode of getting around, and your Asturias vacation would be worthless if you didn’t make a trip to the Picos de Europa. The national park named in their honor is a great gateway to discover this impressive natural landscape, so strap on your hiking boots and hit the trails! Or if you prefer a winter holiday, bring your skis, as the Picos de Europa also offer a fantastic setting for a ski holiday Asturias.

Back towards water, take in the coastline by driving, hiking, or cycling along any stretch of the Costa Verde, as the Asturias shoreline is known. Cycling tours frequently run this stretch of picturesque beaches, craggy rock outcroppings and priceless vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the principle attractions in the Asturias section of the Costa Verde is the Playa de Ballota. This is a beautiful beach, and a prime destination for sailboaters and surfers. Of course sunbathers and those with a weakness for beach volleyball also enjoy Playa de Ballota, so what are you waiting for? Slather on the tanning oil, book your holiday home, and enjoy the warm rays of sun-drenched Spain!
