| » Information about Asturias. |
The Principality of Asturias (Asturian: Asturies) is a province and an autonomous community of Spain on the north coast facing the Bay of Biscay (Spanish: Golfo de Vizcaya or Mar Cantábrico).
The capital is Oviedo; Asturias was formerly called the province of Oviedo. Other noteworthy cities are the major seaport Gijón and the industrial city of Avilés.
Other towns include Cangas de Onís, Cangas del Narcea, Grado, Langreo, Mieres, Villaviciosa, and Llanes.
The autonomous community is bordered on the east by Cantabria, on the south by Castile-Leon (Castilla y León, province of León), on the west by Galicia (province of Lugo), and on the north by the Bay of Biscay.
At one point, Asturias was one of the last remnants of Christian Spain; for this reason, the heir to the Spanish throne automatically takes the title of Prince of Asturias, much as the heir to the British throne is the Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay.
Asturias shares the Parque Nacional Picos de Europa (in the Picos de Europa mountain range) with Cantabria and with the province of León.
The traditional resource of Asturias was mountain farming. The mountain pastures feed milk cows. The mountains also held rich coal mines; however, lately Asturian coal can't compete with off-EU imports and is maintained by tariffs and subventions. The rural tourism is one of the actual alternatives to its economy.
Asturias is known for its fine lamb and seafood, but its most famous dish is Fabada Asturiana, a stew made with large white beans (fabes), shoulder of pork (lacón), black sausage (morcilla), spicy sausage (chorizo) and saffron (azafrán).
The apple trees sustain the production of alcoholic cider, traditionally poured standing, with the bottle a metre above the glass, to oxygenate the brew. Asturian cheeses, especially Cabrales, are also famous, the latter not just for its pungent odour.
Salmon swim up Asturian rivers; the first fish of the season is called campanu (from campana, a bell tolled to signal the catch) and reaches a high price. |
