This is really a plug for a new NYC restaurant featuring the food of Asturias, but there are a couple of helpful tips on where to stay and eat in the region....from CondeNast Traveler magazine, an upscale US/UK travel publication.

I've spent only two days in the region but would love to return for further exploration...has anyone been to any of the spots mentioned and if so, your comments will be welcomed..

Would Oveido make an interesting base for 1-2 nights?

..sorry, Oviedo.

ekscrunchy,

Thanks for posting. I love Asurias and I'm dying to go back! And YES, Oviedo is a delightful city with easy bus connections to surrounding areas (in case you want to rely on public transport).

My turn now... I meant Asturias.

Oviedo is so yesterday!

I have to admit driven past this city many times and thought what a run down looking place. Now I am going to have to stop and take a peak.

Looks like Asturias might have entered my "future trips" list! I will see if I can find any other interesting articles to add....thanks to you both!

Asturias is charming indeed, great food, cider and nature parks with wonderful walking routes. Nature parks of Picos de Europa, Somiedo and Redes are my favourites. And there are a lot of routes on the coast too.
I would like add a list of charming small towns like Cudillero, Tapia de Casariego, Puerto de Vega, Llanes...
After living in Asturias for four years, there are still so many things to find and learn.
