- Picos De Europa was the first National Park in Spain, known as the Peaks of Europe. This travel vlog is from Asturias in Northern Spain ...⬇ Click 'Show More' ✈ Learn to travel full-time: bit.ly/2PjaPey
As if the North of Spain couldn't get any better, we're introduced to Picos De Europa, the first National Park in Spain known in English as the Peaks of Europe. The highlight of the park could be the views, the greenery or the full blown wildlife floating around - but it's all about the glacial lakes. Theres 2 enormous glacial lakes at the peak, or there abouts, the National Park that really have to be seen to be believed.
Heading to Picos De Europa from Asturias was a pretty easy trip and a nice day of travel through the mountains. In this vlog we also travel to Gijon, a popular Spanish coastal town. The Peaks of Europe are obviously massive and take up a lot of ground, so having a car to explore and visit Gijon in the same day was vital.
This was our first time seeing the North of Spain and we loved it - it feels untapped, there's less people, less tourism and so much more to appreciate without the hustle. For a full read on what to do with 48 hours in Asturias check out our blog post: danegerandstac...
Northern Spain Tours should be the next thing you Google, find a way to get here soon!
Thanks to Spain Tourism and Turismo Asturias for inviting us to explore the North of Spain and share how amazing it is!

What is closest international airport?
Recommended for all who say "I know Spain" after spending a holiday in a hotel in front of a southern beach without leaving a circle of radius 100 meters
Haha exactly! This is why we love Spain.
En el Sur hay sitios que la mayoría de los turistas no se imaginan. La mayoría sólo van a las aglomeraciones, pero hay lugares como la sierra de Cádiz y sus pueblos, la serranía de Ronda, Cáceres, que es patrimonio de la humanidad toda ella, Guadalupe, Trujillo, donde nació Pizarro, Mérida, con su teatro y su circo romano. La Alberca en Salamanca, etc., etc. Hay una lista interminable de lugares en el Sur de España que sólo los turistas selectos conocen.
Por cierto, en Cantabria hay lugares preciosos también, como Santillana del Mar y muchos otros lugares.
Y si queréis ver el faro más antíguo del mundo está en La Coruña. Es un faro romano que tiene más de 2000 años y está en perfecto estado y en pleno funcionamiento. Es la Torre de Hércules.
Nooo, don't spread the word, Asturias is one of our most secret and beautiful places in Spain! (hope you had a great time ;)
Haha sorry! We absolutely loved Asturias - how have we (and so many others) never heard of this place?!
@@DanegerAndStacey we are a bit like the "forget one", regions like Asturias and Cantabria (Galicia and País Vasco have more tourism) are regions of Spain that the government do not promote. The typical "sun and beach tourism" is so much powerful that we simply cannot compite. But we are different here, when all tourists that come and visit Asturias have only good and nice comments of the region, we must be doing something right eh? Come back soon!!
We will be visiting in June, and are really looking forward to it
@@DanegerAndStacey Go to Burgos as well, and to Segovia. You'll be surprised.
Too late! I’m from the U.S. and spend several weeks in Asturias every year! I am planning my retirement to spend part of each year in this beautiful and amazing area. But don’t worry. I plan to adopt your way of life, not bring mine with me ;)
Gracias por no poner música flamenca o de Latinoamérica como siempre ponen cuando hablan de España. Y lo dice una chica del sur, Andalucía.
Siiii! 😊
Cumo tu por aquí ? jejejejeje
¡Sí. Señora!. Cierto.
Puestos a hablar de ASturias, unas gaitas asturianas habria sido ideal
Encaja más música céltica o tradicional de Asturias
Those mountains are where most of the ancestry of spaniards hid and fought against the moors, starting the Reconquista. They are very symbolic for me, not just for that but also because I'm from the north and I know how beautiful they are. Very interesting to see people from other countries visiting and admiring these lands, since I think that
they are very far from the stereotype of what people usually know as Spain, even though is safe to say that it is where my country originated. Great video and cheers.
I've just remember that my parents took a picture of me on the cows when I was a kid 3:55
Very true - we loved the chance to see something more that the typical Spanish vacay spots
The landscape is breathtaking!
I JUST LOVE SPAIN!
So do we!
This makes me feel so proud of my country and its beautiful landscapes!. As you can see Spain isn't only "fiesta" it's got so much more hidden!!☺🇪🇸
Yup, a lot more to offer than fiesta and siesta 😂 can’t wait until we return!
WOW, WOW, WOW: this LANDSCAPE was created with me in mind. Lakes,mountains,the ocean, pastures, cows and even a DOG. I am so jelly of you two for this is a part of Spain i have long desired to visit. I hope it stays bucolic and a less travelled part of the world. Beautiful video and i can not wait for the food portion ......!!
Not long to wait! Food video is dropping tonight, hope you have those notifications turned on!
The north of Spain is the best. We love Asturias. We are happy you liked it and share your experience :)
We love Asturias too! Amazing place :)
I'm from asturias and i'm very glad that you liked it :)
Miguel López lo mismo he dicho yo. Lleve a mi chico este año y dice que nos vamos a Asturias cuando nos jubilemos.
We LOVED it! You come from a beautiful place
@@TheMamuchos yo tengo la suerte de vivir aquí jejejje
Asturias es la hostia.
Lo teneis todo. Saludos desde Bilbo.
@@rolflin pues la verdad que sí, pero perdemos una media de 10.000 personas al año y para Asturias es muchisimo, no lo entiendo 🤷♂️
I have bad news for you both.... you discovered just a 10% of the paradise. The good news are that you are welcome to come back!
Those both sound like good news situations :P
Xixón is my favorite Spanish City! Followed by Santiago de Compostela, Santander and Donostia!
I highly recommend you La ruta del Cares, it's mindblowing!!
That landscape is just stunning. I love the greenery broken up by craggy rock faces. Gijon looks amazing - that waterfront is pretty special. I can really see you guys doing one of your long stays in this region. It strikes me as having a lot to offer and you need time to unpack all of that, so a Daneger and Stacey long stay would be unmissable!
You know us too well, Rex! We will definitely have to take a deeper look into a longer stay in future. The cider alone was enough to convince us we need to see & experience more!
WOW the scenery is absolutely immense! How did I not know about this area. Thanks so much for adding yet another must visit to my travel bucket list.
The Travelling Ulcers the north of Spain is a hidden gem! It’s my favorite place on earth 😍
Incredible place! 48 hours wasnt long enough - will def have to go back!
@@DanegerAndStacey
The most impressive place in Asturias may be this (to activate the 5 senses): ua-cam.com/video/LzkajnckHag/v-deo.html
It is a few km from Llanes (you spent a day there). You have to go on a day with rough seas and high tide, preferably between autumn and winter. The tricky part is predicting the right day ahead of time.
Magníficos paisajes de los picos de europa
Puxa Asturias!
Muchas gracias por promocionar Asturias. Un lugar que todo el mundo debería conocer.
It's beautiful! I'm from Cantabria.
Asturias, where the Reconquer started and the origin of Spain. You should visit Covadonga. And don´t forget the food: Fabada (traditional beans stew) and Sidra (cider) that is served in a very unique way ,
We did eat Fabada and other local meals, loved it! They all feature in a separate video ❤️
Almost all the towns in Cebu are named after the towns in Spain. Thanks for sharing the whole story behind.
Oh really? Don't recall really noticing that, but the whole Spanish connection is pretty strong in the PH huh, remember that from our tour in Intromuras.. is that how you spell it? Haha
Saludos desde Galicia hermano, lo de los nombres de las ciudades no lo sabía, es muy interesante.
Thanks for being so respectful and elegant with this video sharing your experience, you both seem very excited for your experience and that is really cool, Spanish are very proud of our beautiful full of contrast country, and happy that everyone can enjoy, specially in this way. Good job!
Cheers Luis - we genuinely loved it and enjoyed seeing a different side of Spain
I really love you liked Asturias! Thank you
Gracias - we loved it!!
Me encantan vuestros vídeos, tan entusiastas y alegres. Y viéndolos mejoro mi inglés. / I like your videos very much, so much enthusiasm and happiness in them. And they help me to improve my english.
Hacéis muy buena pareja y se ve de lejos que sois muy buenas personas 👍👍
Happy we can help, Miguel! 👍👍
A very nice place where to go,,,, thanks amigos for this video
Asturias is one of the most beautiful places of North Spain. Next, I recommend Basque Country and the city of Bilbao. Near here you can see San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the real place for Dragonstone filming in Game of Thrones and a lot more of green or cultural places.
Totally agree! We'll be visiting Bilbao soon as well briefly, will be happy to see more of Spain
BEAUTIFUL! Salutations from, USA.
Hi guys really nice video it was not long because you make it so interesting it just goes by so fast
Aww thanks Effie! That makes us happy to hear :)
Very nice videos about Asturias, thank you very much for them. Just one detail: at min 4:30, it was planned to be and orphanage for tha miners orphans children but soon later they decided to became it into an university, La Universidad Laboral de Gijón.
Thanks! Yeah that's right, we didnt get the chance to include the footage discussing about how it had now become a University, but such a great story.
The Universidad Laboral de Gijon never was a University as all people think what a university is. I studied there high school, never was built as orphand. The dictator Franco, built two "universities" one in Gijón and other in Murcia (I think..) as a replic of El Escorial. My father lived and studied there and I studied there. Were great times and met my best friends during those tines. Otherwise Asturias its a great country, awesome landscapes, good food, and good people who loves to make you comfortable if you are kind (with very bad temper if you dont). Enjoy Asturias, everyone is wellcome
How cool
You showed a little bit of our Paraiso Natural, next time show to the rest of the World our forests, waterfalls, food,... And if someone is thinking to come and visit us, take at least 1 week to enjoy and relax. Thanks for your work, it is awesome.
Thank you so much for talking so highly about my region. You guys are such a cute couple. An Asturian in California.
You're welcome! Your home is amazing
Love it! I've been there in Getxo , Billbao which is interesting, and pais basque where is village (4streets) of witches - Zugarramurdi. The thing that you have to eat it's Axoa, delicious.
Wow sounds interesting! We might just have to go back.
It's not in the Basque region but in Navarra, don't get people confused.
if you come to nothern spain again dont forget to come to nothern León, most underrated province in spain, we have seven biosphere reserves by unesco practically together
There are a lot of places to visit... The Museo de la Minería, Avilés, Lastres, Cudillero, the Museo del Jurásico.... There are dinosaur fingerprints on the coast... the prehistoric caves like Tito Bustillo in Ribadesella and the International canoing competition there in August... Besides some Roman camps have been discovered in the southern mountains... Dont forget "los Lagos de Somiedo" with a Lord of the Rings landscape and round " Celtic" cottages...and so on. Thanks for your visit, not many people know northern Spain
Spain is much more than sun, beach and fiesta....
Definitely!
HAHAHAHAHAHA the end! Great vid guys! Onwards and upwards!!
😂Glad you enjoyed the ending haha
Thanks so much for sharing.
Look like a paradise
Its a definite underrated gem!
I am from Gijón and you couldn’t have done it better
I already been in Barcelona and Madrid, Marbella ... amazing 👌thx for sharing this
Yeee I was there really very similar to Britain but lovelyyyyy
Thank you, Spain is not only beaches in the Mediterranean, it is much more. You have to discover it.
I'm glad to see you enjoyed this beautifull land. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed our homeland, make sure you do come back, though. There's lots more to see (and eat) (and drink!)
Salutations from another beautiful piece of our country, hope to see you guys in Galicia someday.
Gorgeous, guys!!
I spent two weeks on a caving expedition in this area. Those mountains are hollow I tell ya
That must have been an epic and stunning trip!
It was! We made some good progress in a couple of them, found new passages etc. Underground is very impressive, but overground is incredible - the peaks of the mountains really give some incredible views, all the way to the sea. Its a bit of a tough hike but completely worth it.
Nice, fall in love -Northern Spain. Thanks for video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can see how Gijón was in the early 80s , if you watch the Oscar awarded film 'Beguine the begin' (Volver a empezar), that talks about a couple who were lovers in their teenage, war and dictatorship separated them , and they decide continue romance when they are elders.
And if you watch Woody Allen's Vicky-Cristina-Barcelona, you can see a part of the film happens in Asturias, Oviedo overall.
LO HABEIS HECHO MUY BIEN ,GRACIAS POR DECIR QUE OS GUSTA MI TIERRA , O SEA...ASTURIAS. :) UN BESO A LOS DOS
I was there on an Insight Vacations 10 day tour in October 2016, it was beautiful. In the Picos we visited Covadonga, and saw the church in the open cave, yes October was fabulous, 21-22 C. Sunny every day except one day in Orvieto.we had some rain. Covadonga is in Asturias. Hope you went there. Thanks for nice video.
Thank u for this nice video about Spain, a country I love so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
For next time you came to Asturias, I suggest you go to visit Bulnes, Lastres and walk by "la senda del oso" (The bear path...), also eat the cachopo...
As the famous north spanish song says, "Asturias dear homeland, Asturias of my loves, whoever was in Asturias on all occasions..."
You must see Cantabria next to Asturias is similar and the capital Santander is so beautiful. Greetings.
Hi! Thanks for the video! I'm Spanish, from Murcia, and I would like to visit Asturias because it's one of the most beautiful places in Spain. The south of Spain is also interesting to travel.
PLease visit Galicia, Cantabria, and País Vasco, all the coast of the Cantabric Sea is really spectacular, the best of Spain and the best people I met there. Gijon is absolutely stunning!!!
Hello everyone, Your always coming up with great videos,awesome..Just goes so fast. Stories and footage look great. You both always make my day brighter. Thanks...
That makes us happy to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Beautiful
Just like all the other comments.. WOW WOW WOW
Cheers Dave! :)
2:52 Amazing graze!
Glad you enjoyed our land!! Just some quick tips you may not know, the "Universidad Laboral" is the largest building in spain, ahead of "El Escorial" in Madrid. Its tower is the tallest rock construccion made in spain and the dome inside the chuch is the second biggest in the world, just behind the one in the Vaticain.
I think people of Asturias are Celts like Galicia, Ireland, Wales, and Scottland
Yes. We are. 😊
And Brittany in France
They are not Celts. No more than any other part of west, central and northern Europe. There is no celtic language, no monuments no celtic culture in northern Spain. It was diluted by Roman/Latin influence. Also Scotland isn't any more celtic than England. Most of lowland Scotland was settled by Angles. Many of the places in lowland Scotland are English in origin, such as Edinburgh. 'Scots' is an anglo-saxon derived language. England has more celticness than Northern Spain.
@@leod-sigefast U dont know what u re talking about. No celtic monuments? No celtic culture in Asturias?
@@leod-sigefast It doesnt get more celtic anywhere else and the culture didnt dilute by Roman/Latin influence. We lost the language yeah, but we brought it to Ireland.
Still Asturian language is way more celtic and less romanic that its credited for.
Tourists are always welcome here in the North! We have landscapes, old churches and cathedrals, and great food. Because the weather isn't all that great, and the sea water is cold, tourists who come here are usually well educated and cultured, so we don't need to worry about the usual drunkards that frequent the South, fortunately.
That was really noticeable for us vs somewhere like Barca or Valencia - a completely different, more local, more cultured experience. We LOVED it
any great vid ,on a roll gang . keep following the sun ,might bring you to Australia .
Thanks :) The sun will be taking us back to NZ for xmas with the fam!
Happy Friday!!!!!
Right back at ya!
I have a thing for bridges and that one looked pretty awesome. Am loving how beautiful and chill the place is.
Those old bridges were built by the Romans and are still on use!
I'm heading to Barcelona in March and originally was just planning to stay near the city, but I think I'll have to rent a car now and take a few days to head here!! Absolutely gorgeous! :D Do you happen to remember the name of the lakes you saw?
Highly recommend you do that! Very different vibe in the North, not about the parties etc like Barca is, a lot more traditional and beautiful. The whole nat park is called Picos De Europa - you can get to it from a few different spots :)
@@DanegerAndStacey I'm from Northern California so mountains and landscapes are more my speed over the party scene anyways, so that is reassuring to hear! Haha. Very much glad this video popped up on my feed, thanks so much! :D
Im from Asturias and the name of the lakes is lagos de covadonga. Covadonga is the virgin of Asturias and before the lakes you have the cathedral and a litle church on a waterfall. So beautiful.
It is a big distance between Asturias and Barcelona
Tob Oliver Oh yea I think I saw it’s around an 9-10hour drive, give or take? Not a bad way to take a tour of the country 😄
Hi you guys Amazeballs ❤it!
Thanks Andrew!
I have misgivings about watching this because I booked my flight to Zaragoza !
#regret.... jokes, Zaragoza will be amazing as well, but the coastal/mountain of the North is insane
Don't be, Zaragoza is awesome, it's just diferent from northern Spain, each region of Spain is very different, La Basilica del Pilar, is beautiful and gigantic, wherever you go in Spain you will love it, trust me.
Very like switzerland
Sure but not Swiss prices & regulations.
@@russcattell955i For me its a cheap holiday my sister lives there.They have rules there for picking your nose not literally but you know what i mean
Using Google Maps check Fuente Dé, Asturias, east of the area visited by Daneger and Stacey. Great place for mountain hiking.
YOU GUYS ARE LOVELY
Thanks!!!
Graciassssaaaas
Thanks so much! 👍🏼
Where are you going next? :D Amazing views for sure!
You'll just have to keep watching :p Hint: it's verrrryyyy hot!
Puxa Asturies!!
Really cool video.
We still have Chiang Mai and Cuenca as our top retirement cities, but Spain and Portugal look interesting too.
Thx !
Thank you! All of those sound like great options!
@Charles Moore, Cuenca is Spain, not? Or you speaks of Cuenca (Ecuador)?
enekoeneko69
Cuenca, Ecuador
@Charles Moore, ah, ok. I was once in Cuenca (Spain) and it is a really beautiful and spectacular city.
Would you like to know the origin of the Industrial Revolution of Spain? Do not forget to visit the Nalón Valley, in Asturias, a valley that has everything, just 15 minutes from Oviedo and 20 from Gijón.
In addition, in the valley we have 11 museums, El Museo de la Siderurgia MUSI, El Museo de la Madera y de la Madreña, El Museo de la Minería, La Casa del Agua, La Pinacoteca de Langreo, El Museo de la Apicultura, la Casa Museo de Palacio Valdés, el Centro de Experiencias y Memoria Minera (CEMM) el Centro de Interpretación del Parque de Redes (CIPR) the star culmination for the museum inside the Pozo sotón ( only for brave people who really want to go down and walk through a real mine, where, dressed as miners, they will be able to chop and take their own coal stone) EXCLUSIVE IN ALL EUROPE, there is also the spectacular and new “Ecomuseo del valle del Samuño”, where you will be able to travel in a mining train through some beautiful landscapes, and then get to “La Nueva” village and see its museum there.
The Nalon Valley, presents many untapped possibilities, where the entire industrial revolution of Spain began, from there came the coal to be able to supply and move the whole country, or the Duro Felguera, where the metal was worked and today, is still preparing in silence all that area to make it known to the world.
Know that in a few years, if their neighbors propose, will be very powerful, nothing has to envy “Cangas de Onís”, as it has so many routes and places, such as the "Ruta del Alba", (the most famous) the Ascension to Peña Mea, the Coto Musel, La Camperona, La Faya de los Lobos, La Trapa The route of the L'Tabayón waterfall and thus with 49 routes that if they organize, they can promote them separately one by one for each activity, for horses, for Quad, for MTB, Trial, Motocross and Enduro, to go on foot, for climbing, caving, kayaking, fishing ...
Oh and if you walk along the path of the “La ruta del Trole” and carry a lighter, I will tell you a secret, you will find The “El Mechero de Saus”, IT'S SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE WORLD !!! (look for information about him)…
In the area we also find various Roman bridges which are not at all jealous of the "Cangas de Onis" bridge (as it seems that this is the only one which is promoted in Asturias) the first of these is in "Puente de Arcu" in the "Pola de Laviana", a village in which there is the fantastic "Descenso folklóriko de Laviana" is a awesome Folkloric Descent of the Nalón river, an emblematic party and declared of national tourist interest (look for it on youtube and you will hallucinate) or the "Concurso Nacional Charangas de Sotrondio" party. In addition the whole valley has several Roman and medieval watchtowers throughout the valley from "La Colegiata de Santa María la Real" in “Tanes” next to the reservoir, the "Torreón de Villamorey" in the village of "Sobrescobio", the "Dolmen de la Campa L'Escañal" and the "La Torre de La Quintana y la Casa de los Solís" in "Ciaño" village, the hermitage of " El Carbayu" and more...
They have the National Park of "Redes", the “Tanes” Reservoir, where it would be beautiful to finally give the green light and make it navigable and can enhance the rural houses, in "Langreo" are waiting to give the green light to the project to make two river beaches on the river Nalón (the longest and most emblematic of "Asturias") and that would be nice once and for all, you could go down in a kayak, because it is a beautiful river, (and besides, the Sella River is overcrowded) Nearby you have the "Ruta del Alba", with several waterfalls, and there the Restaurant el Molino, where the little ones will be able to fish their own trout and eat it...
If you come to see one of their Rallye ("Santo Emiliano Rallye" without going too far) do not leave without visiting the new park of "La Felguera", which is beautiful, with its pond and full of ducks and its birdhouse, there you will be surprised, city where beer is made in the emblematic bar "El Brew Pub Espumeru & Curuxera Brewey of "La Felguera", which is the only place that sells, along with "Sama", to be able to see all its streets clean and well cared for, along with old buildings restored, The square of the City Council of “Sama” where it is cared for in the smallest detail and increasingly full of life.
The Valle del Nalón offers excellent cuisine (Menus of the day with three plates of food and homemade dessert for less than 10 euros), and to be able to lower the food, you will have at your disposal a whole walk of more than 20km along the riverbank of the Nalón river (the largest in Asturias) and is practically flat, very careful and paved to run, ride a bike or skate. When you arrive at the "Sotrondio" park, you will see that it is one of the most beautiful parks you can visit in "Asturias", and when you decide to go up and get lost in the mountains, you will find yourself at the top of the hill "El Alto de la Colladiella"... What a beautiful, unspoilt landscape... Go up to the "el Carbayu", observe the views of the valley from the chapel, visit “La Falla de los Lobos”, or the “El Picu de los Tres Concejos”, go up to the "el Mayau Solís", in all of them you will be amazed by the views, You can see mining villages like "Pampiedra" in "La Nueva" village or "La Hueria Carrocera" in "San Martín del Rey Aurelio", see the famous "Pozo María Luisa" in "Ciaño", or the emblematic bridge of braces that crosses the river Nalón in "Sama", and the local shops in their towns are full of quality... Visit “Canzana” and be amazed, what views, what luxury gastronomy they have and cheap, the star dish of the area, the “Cabrito”, which can be order “a la estaca” or asado, delicious .
For having, they have four theaters that if they know how to move, they could give great shows, to a shopping center called “Alcampo Valle del Nalón” where they allow us to enjoy several large and spacious cinemas, and the best ¡¡¡For only 4 euros you can see all the premieres !!!
I think that this whole area is a success to discover it and that it is still preparing in silence to launch it in tourism in a few years, take advantage to visit it now that it is still virgin and know that you can today, buy a house or apartment for 40,000 euros onwards, or if you want to create your own business for tourism do not miss this area, it is incredible that nobody has yet discovered this part of Asturias.
It's beautiful, thanks for this video. I live in Madrid, but I haven't ever travelled to the north of Spain.
I've been unemployed 15 of the last 25 years, so I cannot afford it.
You're welcome :) Hope you get the chance to visit the North soon!
Navarra y Aragon también es el norte de España , no te pierdas los Pirineos sus valles y las mejores pistas de esquí de España.
5:10 now is a place to music festival....i saw there the Prodigy and Offspring
No way? Thats awesome
@@DanegerAndStacey is called Tsunami festival.
Next time visit León!! :)
Next time you must visit my city Avilés; the third city of Asturias in population. We have historical buildings and other moderns like Oscar Niemeyer. Near is Salinas beach with kilometers to walk and to make surf. You can go to Cudillero and many other places in the western like Tapia de Casariego. I recomend you this beaches if you come in summer.
Have a good minicruise from Plymouth to Santander :-)
people only know the South and the Mediterranean because people come looking for sun and beach and cheap beers. And the north is very beautiful, although the weather in winter is a little unbearably, those landscapes are normal enough snow
That is just gorgeous! How expensive was it there?? Would be curious to go 😊
Lana Tiare Asturias is not expensive at all. You can find hotels or Airbnb for less 50 euros or less. You can wait for less than 15 euros a day with beer or sidra. It’s absolutely one of my favorite places and I convinced my fiancé to move their for our retirement after we visited Asturias in March. You should go!!
You should also come to Galicia (neighbouring region to the west)
Back to Poland :p
🏆 Next year for sure!!
Catalunya, Aragon, Navarra, Basque country also North of Spain
Thanks for the upload, I am going in April for the first time. I love nice beaches and seafood. You have some good spots?
Have you been to the Basque Country? You have to go there. The food is amazing and the landscapes are breathtaking. It's not so far from Asturias and really worth It.
Not yet - maybe next time we will!
It's a pity because you went to Covadonga Lakes but you didn't film anything about Covadonga, the cave of Virgin of Covadonga which is one REALLY representative of Asturias. I recommend Ruta del Cares too.
Guess we will have to go bback!
@@DanegerAndStacey I think you should and I recommend to you La Ruta del Cares too.
Hi Daneger & Stacey, in a past video you said that you prepare most of your evening meals at home, so how do you deal with the the cooking supplies in the Airbnbs? Ive noticed that cooking equipment is usually minimal and often times there are not even basic cooking ingredients such as salt, pepper, sugar, cooking oil, spices, so do you buy those things and take them with you from location to location? Im staying in an Airbnb in Budapest right now and there was not even one sharp knife..... and zero ingredients of any kind. I had to make a trip to IKEA to buy some basics.
It can definitely be a little frustrating - When we stay for long periods of time we often buy our own supplies and take what we can with us, otherwise we just find ways to make it work depending on what's available.
If you visit again Asturias, dont forget Avilés, it has one of the best historical centers of Asturias
Hey Daneger and Stacy!
The real reason Daneger and Stacey came to Picos de Europa is to meet up with their other good friend, Oda Mae Brown and this is what transpired...
Oda Mae Brown : Damn baby, What did you do to your hair?
Stacey : You like it? It’s Autumn Sunrise.
Oda Mae Brown : Hell yeah, it looks good on you. What shampoo did you use?
Stacey : Nuxe Rêve de Miel Shampooing Douceur!
Oda Mae Brown : Jawohl! I don't know you! I don't know Sam, but let me tell you what he did to me. He kept me up all night singing "I'm Henry the Eighth I Am.”
Daneger : Ha ha! Silly Sam! Always up to mischief!
Yeah, the above comment has nothing to do with the vlog, whatsoever.
Haha it might not have anything to do with the vlog but damn it's creative 😂
😂 Oda Mae Brown is Whoopi Goldberg’s character in the movie Ghost
Thanks for the video guys. It seems like you just scratched the surface, a teaser if you will, which inspires us to do a lot more exploring 😁😉
Definitely! There is a lot to see and do in Northern Spain - We will just have to go back!
@@DanegerAndStacey see you there! 😁😉
Oviedo is the best
The worst part of the year in Cangas de Onís, Asturias, is the summer, because of the people ;-;

Hi guys! Coming to Barcelona?
🥈 Not on this trip, but Barca is one of our (Danes) fav places in the world. Would love to visit again next year and share that!
