Gorges are always beautiful, there’s usually lots to see and they make you feel very small!

What beautiful place Asturias is. Was the temperature appreciably cooler than Madrid?

The family I will be staying with Madrid is in Asturias right now for the summer. You can see why… I felt like melting just watching the weather reports from Madrid!

Thanks for including a couple of food photos. I always love these. They help heighten the longing to visit.

I’ve walked the “Garganta” twice. What an incredible place. At the end on the Asturian side you can walk up a very steep trail to a little nothing of a village called Bulnes. Well worth the effort since the town is inhabited by a couple of shepherds, and you get the sense there that time has stood still. For the really adventuresome types, you can cross over the mountains to Fuente De in Cantabria. The whole area up there, the Valdeón, is some of the most striking and amazing landscape I have ever seen. I lived for a month in Posada de Valdeón (back in ‘91) and was blown away with the beauty of the mountains, how clean the air was, and how tranquil life can be.
