I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 819. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about beaches and

Citer, old churches and a Roman bridge, jagged peaks and mountain lakes, as we go to Asturias in Spain.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about Asturias.

I'd like to welcome to the show Leanne and Lyle from Beach Travel Wine.com

who come to talk to us about Asturias in Spain.

Leanne and Lyle welcome to the show.

Oh, hi Chris.

Nice to be here.

And I say you're from Beach Travel Wine.

I should say that you have both a blog and a podcast at that site.

So welcome fellow travel podcasters. I don't think I had heard of Astorias before you

pitched me this. So where are we talking about? It's located on the northwest of Spain. On one side you've got the picoste Europa

which are the peaks of Europe yes the peak of the Canterbury and mountain range and

also the other side is the bay of Biscay. And on one side you've got Galicia and on the other side is Cantabria.

So right up on the north.

And why should someone go to Asturia?

We've been from one end of Spain to the other and we just found Asturias is the most fascinating place that doesn't even feel like you're in Spain.

There's history, mountains, rivers,

churches, food, it's just so many different things about that happen in Asturias

that you don't find anywhere else in Spain.
