Asturias is a region on the north coast of Spain, hemmed in by mountains. It's considered part of Green Spain along with its neighbouring regions of Cantabria to the east and Galicia to the west, because of the cool fertile maritime climate and distinct culture. The region to the south, Castile and León, has far less rainfall and is more typical of mainland Spain.
Asturias airport (OVD) is 10 km west of Avilés, with buses to that town and to Oviedo and Gijón. It has frequent flights from Madrid, also from Barcelona, Sevilla and Palma de Mallorca, but lacks international flights.
