The landscape
So as briefly mentioned, one of the most important reasons why Asturias is a fabulous location for a wedding is its breathtaking landscapes. Indeed, it is home to the Picos Europa Mountains, which can provide a wonderful backdrop for your wedding photographs. The mountains are a National Park, filled with nature and characterised with gorges and canyons as well as the mountains. This national park is huge, covering approximately 64000 hectares!
The coastline
As well as mountains, Asturias is also located on the coast, so it is also a great location if you are sea lovers. The eastern coast is home to Llanes, the largest of the resorts in Asturias which has around 50 km of sandy beaches and it is becoming a very popular place! In addition, being located on the coast means that you can enjoy various activities on the days before or after your wedding, and some activities you can do here include:
Sea kayaking

The food
Linking back to the last point, another advantage of the coastline of Asturias is that it allows for the production of fresh seafood, but it is also famous for meat-based dishes and its cheeses, so there is a variety of choice for everyone!
