Cities where you\u2019ll never be bored<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Christmas rolls around, the cities of Asturias become even more beautiful – if that\u2019s even possible. The streets become filled with music, lights, locals, and kids excited about their presents, dreaming about ice rinks and a whole host of Christmas activities perfect for the whole family to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Shopping is another ideal activity for this time of year. As well as the usual shops, the local Christmas markets are really something to see, and they\u2019re a great place to find original gifts at affordable prices.<\/p>\n

Basically, there\u2019s an endless list of cultural activities for you to get stuck into during the Christmas period…<\/p>\n

Towns from Christmas tales<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Around autumn and winter, the landscapes of Asturias become truly enchanting. There are rivers, streams, waterfalls, and green valleys soon to be tinted white, frozen peaks, the sea in all its splendour, the waves, the whispers of the wind…<\/p>\n

And as if by magic, fairy-tale towns appear in the heart of the valley, suspended from hillsides or perched high upon them. Towns with panoramic views overlooking the mountains or the coast, or both…<\/p>\n

Blanketed in snow or not, these towns really are straight out of the kind of Christmas story that makes you feel like a happy kid again.<\/p>\n

Slow-paced rural environments<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rural tourism is an excellent choice if you want to have a complete but alternative Christmas. It\u2019s a quiet, casual, and friendly option. Whether you\u2019re in a village house or a comfortable apartment, the fire in the hearth is seldom an unwelcome guest, helping to create – in the most literal sense of the term – a warm environment.<\/p>\n

This really is an authentic way to see this Natural Paradise, allowing you to gaze over incredible landscapes in locations which combine local traditions with the customs of modern daily life in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll open up all sorts of activities to you: walks, trips, hiking, different sports in natural environments…<\/p>\n

The local food is a key part of the Christmas experience in Asturias. Tables everywhere, in homes, restaurants, and cider pubs, are covered in super tasty delicacies. There\u2019s local meat, fish, seafood, sausages, cheeses, cider, wine from Cangas, traditional sweets, and much more.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find a whole world of different lunches, afternoon snacks, and dinners to either try for the first time or to eat once more, and here\u2019s the best part: it\u2019s all wonderful Christmas food.<\/p>\n
