A village that looks like something out of a fairy tale. I’ll never forget my backpacking holiday to Asturias, in the north of Spain. It was the first trip that I took with my boyfriend so I couldn’t have been more excited. We booked a cottage located in the breathtaking scenery of the mountains of Cangas de Narcea, which I had never seen before. What’s more, the accommodation and the facilities were convenient so it was worth paying. We spent a couple of days sightseeing, looking around some peaceful places and also we had lunch in luxurious restaurants. The thing I loved most was the adrenaline rush when we practiced adventure sports such as canoeing in the Sena river or rock climbing in the peaks of Europe. Moreover, I noticed how friendly and cheerful local people were. They suggested getting off the beaten track. What an amazing experience! I have been back to Asturias several times since I consider it a paradise for when I’ m retired.
