Asturias by car
Asturias trades the dry Spain of the guidebooks for wet green valleys running down from the Picos de Europa to the Bay of Biscay. Rain falls in every season here, and the light can change several times between breakfast and dusk.

Frequently asked questions
Spain: which side of the road do they drive on?

Do I need an International Driving Permit?
