Activities

Asturias is a land plenty of history and art. With human settlements from the ancient pre-history, there are still samples of this era in the rock art and in some hillforts made by the Celtics. We also have an artistic movement endemic from Asturias, called pre-romanic, this movement is basically architectural, with some buildings still standing. Romans were also here, leaving us some wonderfull ruins, prove of their culture.
