Region:

Green Spain consists of the northern regions of Galicia, Asturia, Cantabria and Basque Country. Green Spain does mean it gets more rain than the rest of Spain, but this area is well worth a visit! The Green Spain scenery is characterized by green pastures, valleys, apple orchards, and fantastic mountain scenery. The coast boasts long beaches, spectacular cliffs, secluded inlets and fishing villages.

Galicia is right on the Atlantic. This remote region has a coastline with many small islands, inlets, beautiful white sandy beaches, but also rugged rock formations. La Coruña is the only sizeable coastal town with some beautiful beaches. More inland you will find oak, pine, and eucalyptus forests, undulating farmland and many natural areas. Here, you will also come across hórreos, traditional granaries. You can visit a number of monumental cities in this region. The main attraction is the pilgrimage town of Santiago de Compostela, a listed UNESCO World Heritage site.

Asturia is characterized by impressive mountains, river valleys, undulating pastures, and forests and along its coast you will find fine sandy beaches, sheer cliffs, and protected fishing harbours.
