Asturias is a province of Northern Spain taking in the coastline of the Costa Verde on
the Bay of Biscay. It is a wild and dramatic region, its landscapes ranging from the
high mountains of the Cordillera Cantabrica, to lush green valleys and forests. Down
on the coast an array of quaint and colourful fishing villages await, along with miles
of golden beaches and the spectacular waves of the Atlantic. Relatively undiscovered
by foreigners, the area of Asturias is a largely unspoilt paradise - perfect if you are
looking for Spanish property in a breathtaking setting.
The region's capital - Oviedo - is located at the midpoint between mountain and sea. It
is a very historic city that has been influenced greatly by the Celts and the Romans.
On the coast, Gijon is the region's other main city, and offers investors in Spanish
property the opportunity to purchase quality waterfront real estate.
The most popular areas in which to buy Asturias property are the coastal towns of
Ribadesella and Llanes. Ribadesella is a picturesque fishing town that is well-liked by
Spanish tourists from the cities. Llanes is appreciated for its beautiful beaches, of
which there are more than 30, as well as its dramatic coastline. Asturias property in
these areas range from apartments and townhouses to exclusive villas.
The more rural areas of Asturias also offer ample opportunity to purchase plots of
land on which that dream villa in Spain can be built. Construction costs in the area are
quite low too, adding to the appeal of this option!
