All I really know about Asturia is that it rains, there are coal-mines and it is in Northern Spain; what am I missing please, as we are determined to visit there this August.

Asturias is the bit in the middle of the north coast of Spain. Centred around Gijón/Xixón (they have odd ideas about spelling there). The place has a Celtic feel to it and not just because they play the bagpipes.Where is it?

Wasn't Hitler born in Austria? Maybe you could have a day out and visit his birthplace! It's sure to have a blue plaque outside.

As far as I know, the Guernica is either in Madrid or New York, although it was once in Paris. I believe that it is now in a fragile condition and cannot be moved but in Asturia? I think not but the caves of Altimira are.... somewhere. AlanIf your passing that way, take a look at Guernica, made famous by Picassos painting. It was the town bombed by Germany and Italy, but instigated by Franco on his own people. Well worth a day.

The town of Guernica, after which the painting is named, is a shade to the east of Bilbao and in the Basque Region, not Asturias. But this is a technicality, it is all an interesting region. The painting itself is now in Madrid having been in New York until after the death of Franco.As far as I know, the Guernica is either in Madrid or New York, although it was once in Paris.

added after further reading, yes I think that Asturia only requires 'U' to move a little to prevent the first world war.
