You've got over 200 beaches.

It's that, you know, perfect for somebody looking for sort of nice walks, authentic experience.

So Avieda, where you fly into, you could do a city break.

Or Gijon, which is probably the most popular because that's literally right on the coast where there's a beach.

So they're all very close.

That's one of the best preserved old towns in Asturias.
