🇪🇸 Why we choose to live in ASTURIAS - NORTHERN SPAIN💥

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you very much, everyone, for watching the video♥. We hope it has been helpful to you!! We would like to know your experiences so, which region of Asturias or Spain in general do you think is the best to live in?

[@PelayoCid]

Guys, welcome to Asturias 🤗

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Gracies!

[@daviddeveau5101]

I love seeing these places that are more off the beaten track. Very appealing. Lovely.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Yes indeed. Glad that you enjoyed the video!

[@alswarez5046]

Excellent video. I’m looking forward to visiting Asturias in September

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you very much! Yeah September is probably the best season to visit Asturias because the weather is amazing 🤩

[@joefeinstein6804]

My ancestors came from Asturius and I was the first of my family to return after my ancestor left for Cuba 200 years ago. Although I didn't find any family still living there (yet), it was amazing to visit and I can't wait to return with my wife & kids.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Amazing! Yes a lot of people migrated from here to America. Thanks you for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video

[@joefeinstein6804]

@@FahoodyAdventures Yes I did. I had no idea there were expats living there. Good choice.

[@davidtaylor-hg2bz]

I have a holiday home in sotrondio not far from oviedo. We are from scotland and love everything about asturias also oviedo is like our second home, we love it. So happy for you guys on your adventure and cant wait to get over there for good in 5 years to start our adventure❤

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you so much for your comment! We love Asturias also! It is such an amazing region and we want to keep exploring every corner of the principality of Asturias and keep discovering new places!

[@Brtf23]

In Sotrondio? Really? I'm from there.

[@LavenderHazelwood]

thanks for this!

[@FahoodyAdventures]

You are welcome :)

Take trains more than planes. Especially for these short distances. Trains are relaxing and they help at sparing the air we breathe. Definitely ride the choo-choo when you can. Yahoo. Nice video.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Yes that is true! Thank you very much :)

[@ivettenavarro8617]

Lovely! I also just moved to Asturias with my partner from Sweden this past April. I'm from California (and Mexico) and my partner is from Spain. We love it here, thanks for sharing your insights. Saludos desde Avilés!

[@FahoodyAdventures]

We are very happy that you found it helpful! Thanks for liking the video and we hope that you will have a lovely experience here!!!

[@katekarpenko4475]

Hey! Would you mind sharing how you like the climate compared to California and Mexico? :)

[@ivettenavarro8617]

@@katekarpenko4475 Hey! Thus far, I like how the temperature is not too extreme here. I've yet to experience the whole year but thus far it's not that seriously different from where I'm from (San Diego and north of Baja California). It does rain way more often, and it's been cloudy with not much sun, yet the temperature stays nice and mellow (coming from someone who also relocated from Gothenburg, Sweden this past April; lived there for about a year). Overall, more sunny days where I come from but temperature here is nice, nonetheless.

[@katekarpenko4475]

@@ivettenavarro8617 thanks for your reply! I'm concerned about not enough sun and too much rain....

[@vintageshabbyglamour7865]

Wow! So glad I clicked on your video! I am hopefully moving to Spain around the end of September/beginning of October from the US and have been researching northern cites and Oviedo was on my list. What a lovely place and the weather and outdoors ticks some of my 'must-have' boxes! It would be so cool to meet you both at some point!

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you very much for watching the video, we are so happy you liked it. Yes Oviedo is a great option the city is small but you have everything and you can go walking everywhere. Asturias has amazing cuisine and the landscapes are stunning. Also plenty of routes if you like hiking or going to mountains

[@vadim_shashin]

You mentioned that it's complicated there to go cycling. But isn't it like 20 mins cycling from the city centre to the nearest forest?

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Yes, there are some nice trails to go cycling in the outskirts of the city, but what I mean that oviedo is not very friendly to go cycling inside the city

[@vadim_shashin]

@@FahoodyAdventures perfect then, thanks 🙂 I don't like cycling inside the city anyways, I like cross-country stuff 🙂

[@devos3354]

Beautiful, I love Asturias, where exactly is the city you are talking about, I can't figure it out. Sorry....

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you very much! We are living in Oviedo, but we are talking about Asturias in general :)

[@pmatar]

@FahoodyAdventures great video! We are planning to move to Oviedo with the family soon. One question if you don’t mind - I have a middle eastern appearance, will it be harder to integrate into society, especially given that I don’t know Spanish yet? I’m asking because afaik north is much more homogeneous than south.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

@@pmatar thanks for your comment, I think you wouldnt have any problem. In fact there are pockets of Morrocan, Pakistan etc communities. Spanish people are very nice!! I suggest you learn some phrases in Spanish that will makr you go a long way. Dont worry and enjoy your time here!

[@ruthpresland]

Congrats on the move! I’m moving to Oviedo in October. Could you share details of the language exchange group and the folk night? Thank you 🙏🏼

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Thank you very much!! For sure, here you have the link for the Facebook group, they have meetings almost every day of the week and everyone is more than welcome facebook.com/groups/1014001301971844 The folk night it depends they don't have a fixed schedule is just better check on the internet because there are a lot of festivals and interesting things going around in Asturias

[@Luv2Pplwatch]

How far is the city De Aviles and what is the name of the Airport? Also is there any trains to Paris from northern Spain? Thanks and Great Video 😊

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Hello and thank you very much for watching the video. The airport is called aeropuerto de Asturias OVD. Is only 30 minutes by car to Oviedo and there are Alsa buses that go to the main cities from the airport. And yes there are trains that go to Paris from Barcelona for example :)

[@Luv2Pplwatch]

@@FahoodyAdventures Thank you so very much! Your video was very informative. I’m trying to plan a trip to Spain and Paris and Italy for next year and you gave me some great information. I especially want to see Aviles because that’s where my family is from.

[@jal051]

The three main cities of Asturias (Gijón, Oviedo and Avilés) are in a triangle each 30 km apart of each other. There's a highway linking them called 'the Y' because of its shape.

[@Luv2Pplwatch]

@ Thank you very much

[@lucianosantoro7461]

We moved to Asturias last Christmas and are so happy about our choice. I now fully understand why they call it paradise. Good luck!

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Ohh we are very happy to hear that!! Yes Asturias is an amazing choice and now in spring and summer there are always a lot of festivals and events to enjoy in the weekends

[@craigevans8119]

[@FahoodyAdventures]

We are very happy to hear that!! Oviedo is amazing 🤩

[@anenglishmaninoviedospain]

@@FahoodyAdventures Like you, we used to live in Dubai for 12 years. It was fun in its way but I have no interest in going back😊

[@jal051]

Did you spend a winter here yet? We talk after that 😅

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Winters are not bad hahaha not very cold like in Other parts of Spain for example Madrid is more cold in winter than in Asturias, because is more close to the sea and makes temperature more mild. However, there is less sunlight because is usually more cloudy and rainy. Everything has their pros and cons

[@jesusfernandezgarcia9449]

It is good that someone from the Emirates, where there seems to be a high standard of living, appreciates this simple land, my land.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Yes it is indeed very beautiful! Thanks for your comment.

[@ariearys100]

Hello guys! My partner (from Venezuela) and I living in Oviedo for about one year now. I love the smaller towns like Mieres, Grado and Pola de Siero as well! My partner is still waiting for his residencia. Maybe one day we can meet eachother! 😘

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Hope you guys are enjoying Oviedo!! Yes Mieres and Grado are absolutely beautiful. We wish your partner a quicker residency visa and yes would love to catch with you guys in person one day!😇

[@katekarpenko4475]

Hi! Thanks for an informative video! Can I ask you if Oviedo is really bad for cycling? You can't commute by bike there and you can't ride it just for fun?

[@FahoodyAdventures]

There is no specific Path for cycling so you have to go on the same road with the rest of the cars. And also the city is very sloppy. But some people still do cycling, on the other hand Gijón is more adapted for cycling

[@XLseattle]

Renfe price is comparable to Amtrak in the US

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Oh thank you for the info! that is interesting :)

[@dacelticcross]

When I heard the guys playing in the pub I thought "what are these Irish guys doing playing here" so so much like Irish music, except they are missing the bodhran!

[@FahoodyAdventures]

You are very correct there! We had the same feeling. The music sounds very similar to Irish music. So is the general friendly atmosphere!

[@jonnyc4320]

That’s because the Asturias is Celtic. Check out their flag, it is a Celtic cross.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

@@jonnyc4320 now that you point it, yes looks similar!

I think you should not say expat but emigrant. Let us call things using the right word.

[@FahoodyAdventures]

Well for now I am an expat, and once I am an immigrant I'll change the terminology! Thanks for your comment though.

What does his video have to do with Immigrant or an expact? He is sharing an educational and interesting videos for everyone. No need to write something negative. Ive been watching fahoodys videos and i find them very interesting
