What do you love the most about Asturias? 😍

[NuYorka]

My father was born in Asturias in the early 30’s. He always spoke so fondly about it. I believe from the area known as Tineo, or El Pedregal. He passed a long time ago, more than 30 years ago, only have a few documents and memories of what he said. I haven’t had the opportunity to go and visit yet but it is on my bucket list. Love the history, and the music. Very proud of my Iberian Celtic heritage. As a native NY’er, I find it awesome that my Dad came from such a significant place. 🇪🇸

As a 6 ye wast old child, I spent a year on the farm in Luarca in Asturias. As an American, I have many fond memories growing up in that region and to the state, have family and friends there. Having revisited in 2012, it’s a beautiful region with beautiful people and amazing architecture.

Thanks for the video. I hardly ever see Asturias talked about. The north of Spain is so lush and interesting and much different from the rest of Iberia. It’s like a well-kept secret. Shh!

[globalhawk]

I think Santiago De Compostela is actually in Galicia not Asturias.

[flaviopitanga]

Long live ❤Astúrias. Defenders of Christianity. Without it Iberia would be a musilim nation

[edwardfernandez]

Beautiful, creative, smart, and very talented People! Very descriptive and informative documentary. Loved the way they were globally cultured, and Faith aware, yet they kept their Christian faith alive and many of their culture heritages, and language. The industralization and neutralization periods they adjusted to and did remarkably well, I've heard with very prolific outcomes, and in many different educational and business successful areas. The hope and renewal efforts to restore and place things in order, after difficult times serve them to have a title of well disciplined and hardworking group of people! Thank you for sharing!

Fact #4: Santiago de Compostela is in Galicia, where the relics of St-James lie.
El Camino Primitivo is the first pilgrimage route to have been established from Oviedo, Asturias to Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.
Thus, the remains of St-James were not found in Asturias, but in the neighbouring province. However the first Camino de Santiago, el Primitivo, was founded in Asturias and is the path taken by the first reported pilgrim, Alfonso II of Asturias (c. 760 – 842).

Also, Altamira is in Cantabria, the neighbouring province, not Asturias.

[Sal-fnpm]

Interestingly it shares its uniqueness with many other local cultures.

[speedyjago]

Galicia is close to Asturias in culture but it's not the same...

[asturiasceltic]

Asturias was founded as a sanctuary for Visigothic Christian nobles. The people are mainly celt-iberian and go back as far as Neantherdal days. Asturias is one of eight Celtic territories including Galicia.

Most of those cartoon people look nothing like the men in Asturias.

[ManoloAlvarez-pzlz]

[libertas]

Bagpipes have been traditionally played in many areas of the Balkans, which have never had any Celtic influence.

[suegreene]

Hey that wasn't Asturias it's from El Bierzo - Leon "Las Mèdulas"

[Chiller]

Those AI Asturian men are pretty fit especially those beefy wrestlers. Everyone there looks tall, good looking and in very good shape.

[Benito-lrmz]

A mistake the tomb of St.James discovered in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia no Asturias and the Camino no born in Asturias in all case happens for Asturias

[pedropablo]

The guitar continues sounding in the background. It is totally misplaced and reminds us about the eternal cliches of Spain. Perhaps a Scottish bagpipe would be more suitable....

[fcojavierblanco]

Asturias es España y lo demás reconquistado,
