Picturesque views from the road and the great outdoors of Green northern Spain

One of the magnificent views from the road: Barrios de Luna reservoir.
Have you ever wonder how does it feel following a road that goes through the mountains and up and down the valleys? The AP-66 motorway (colloquially called Huerna motorway) will lead you into a paradise. A dream made of velvety greens, luxury blues and soft clouds caressing the peaks. Come along and enjoy the views.

The view

On my recent trip to northern Spain I had the opportunity to indulge myself in oustanding sights beyond believe. Ditch that idea on Spain being a summer and beach destination all year round. There's a piece of land called "Green Spain" which literally lives up to its name. This piece of paradise is compound by the northern autonomous community of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and and the northern half of the Basque Country. Frequent rains and a mild temperature provided by the Atlantic Ocean could make you think of Ireland, UK or the west coast of France type of landscape, yet you are still in Spain.

Yes, you are still in Spain. Views from AP-66 motorway connecting Asturias and León.
Though I enjoy a drive through the great outdoors, this time I was happy that I didn't have to do so, as this way I was able to look through the window, grab my camera and enjoy those amazing views.


The road

The AP-66 motorway connects Asturias and León autonomous communities. It goes under the Cantabrian range through many tunnels (another driving experience!) and follows the Huerna valley. It also borders the Barrios de Luna reservoir located in León.

Wanna try another perspective? Check this video of a flight over the Cantabrian range by Llanera Aeroclub. The so called Green Spain has also been spotted on The Guardian and the Mail as the hidden Spanish gem not to be missed. 

Have you ever been to northern Spain? If you have never heard about this amazing ever-green landscapes, I highly suggest you to visit it, you will discover another view of Spain (not to mention the superb cuisine). Let me know your thoughts!

Hi Tour de andorja! You have captured the essence, that's exactly what I wanted to share; Spain is not just all about beaches, sand and sun (actually in the North it rains quite often, but hey, that's why it's so green), there are so many wonderful places to be discovered!

ps: visiting Norway is on my bucket list <3 I've seen some incredible photos from there as well :)
