In this episode we travel from Galicia along the coast to the province of Asturias, in Spain. We visit chapels and swim in rivers and visit the farm that we lived on for a few years before having kids. Asturias is known for its insanely magical natural beauty. It has the high peaks of the Picos de Europa and it’s stunning, craggy coastline with it’s bright blue water. We fell in love with this region years ago when we volunteered here.
In the countryside of Asturias, the majority of people still live according to their ancient traditions. Many of them are shepherds and it's very common for many families to have their own cheese cave in the mountains to age their alpine cheeses. Also, the majority of people still forage for their sustenance, finding chestnuts, wild mushrooms, hazelnuts, apples to press for Sidra, walnuts, and cherries, which all grow wild in the forests.
It is a very unknown region, most often only visited by other Spaniards. It is a place to be completely surrounded by natural beauty and to find beautiful, quiet countryside villages in the mountains or on the coast.
