The “Costa Verde”, (Green Coast), in Asturias, takes its name from its luxuriant verdant landscape and natural beauty. The coast is strewn with lovely fine sand beaches broken now and then by cliffs. Picturesque little fishing villages and larger towns cater for visitors with everything necessary for a perfect holiday. Castropol, Tapia de Casariego, Navia or Luarca, just a few of the many charming towns to visit, or enjoy surfing at a choice of beaches. Gijon is the largest city on this coast, a beautiful and thriving town worthy of a visit. As with most coastal regions Asturias is famed for its fish and shell food specialities and excellent gastronomy.
