Our first stop was to a beautiful hike in Asturias called the Lagos de Saliencia. This was definitely one of our favourites hikes we did in Spain, and one of the top in all of Europe! After the hike we head to the northern coastline of Asturias for a quick visit to two of the main attractions in this region: Silence Beach and Bufones de Pría.
The following few days we spent driving and exploring the amazing Picos de Europa National Park. A visit here wouldn't be complete without a visit to one of the most important sites in Asturias, Covadonga. Covadonga is home to an important religious sanctuary and is surrounded by wonderful mountain scenery.
We finished our time in this section of our trip with a visit to the region of Cantabria! Our time here was spent visiting the town of Comillas and the city of Santander.

Arronti Cantabria!!

[@Alberto-xz7th]

The level of those lakes were superlow. Clearly the weather in most of Europe this summer has been very dry.

[@LukeandTylerTravel]

This was filmed last year but given the weather this summer I imagine it may be similar or worse this year.

[@Alberto-xz7th]

@@LukeandTylerTravel Damn. Maybe that's not unusual mid-summer because when I've seen them the level was much higher. Although the last couple of summers have gotten drier and drier

[@genysmart50]

Woww mi padre biológico es de ahi. Siento tanta coneccion con ese lugar. Mis raíces! ❤️Siento que en otra vida me casé en esa iglesia. ⛪️ Estoy loca de conocer a mi familia! 😍

Glad you enjoyed!

[@philipsimms6405]

oh your videos are super informative. Would love to find what route you took in your rental. My husband and I are booked for next April and doing so much of the same in a car as you have done. Thank you Owen, New Zealand

[@LukeandTylerTravel]

That’s exciting that your heading to Spain in April! That should be a lovely time to visit 😍. We picked up the rental car in Madrid and headed slowly to Vigo in Galicia (stopping at Ávila, Sierra de Gredos National Park, and Salamanca on the way). We drove north along the coastline of Galicia with a visit to Santiago de Compostela, before heading back inland towards Léon. Astorga is a nice stop over on the way to Léon. Afterwards we headed to Lagos de Saliencia for a beautiful hike and then to the popular Picos de Europa National Park. We then hit up Comillas, Santander, Burgos, Bilbao and San Sebastián. We switched gears and did more hiking / camping so visited the national parks of Ordesa y Monte Perido, Mont-rebei gorge, and Aigüestortes i Estany of Saint Maurici National Park. We finished our time with a stop over in Zaragoza before returning the car in Madrid. Haha long trip but we have more details in our other videos. Hope you enjoy them!

[@philipsimms6405]

Oh, Thank you so much for that. Very kind of you. The other videos were just as inspiring. We look forward to the joy of Spain. O and P New Zealand

[@LukeandTylerTravel]

@@philipsimms6405 enjoy! We are hoping to visit New Zealand in the next couple years.

[@philipsimms6405]

[@snoo333]

@@LukeandTylerTravel awesome thank you. it looks like a nice place to sit there and enjoy nature.

[@_matthewmendoza]

Do you recommend getting a car rental?

[@LukeandTylerTravel]

We do! This area of Spain is not well connected by public transport, especially if you want to explore some of the more rural areas

[@frankmontague7544]

WHERE in Northern Spain could you happily spend a month or more?

[@LukeandTylerTravel]

Definitely Asturias. Would love to leisurely explore this area a bit more. So much to do!
