Asturias - The Principality of Asturias is part of "Green Spain" because of its intensely green-covered land. The region appears to be a geological explosion towards the sky, a vertical land in which the imposing Picos de Europa mountains soar and where rivers -celebrated for their salmon and trout fishing- flowing towards the sea have chiseled deep ravines, and beautiful river valleys.
Cantabria - Although Cantabria is Spain's smallest region, the sights and contrasts it affords are quite remarkable, from its magnificent coastline, splendid beaches and small Old World ports along the Bay of Biscay, to its four major mountain ranges, its world famous prehistoric caves, its gentle, lushly green valleys, and its lovely seaside capital of Santander.
Basque Country - The Basque Country is historically unique; its traditions, customs, culture and its language, Euskera, unrelated to any Indo-European language, are all unlike any other region of Spain. Euskadi, as the region is called in Basque, is a friendly land of hardy and independent but hospitable people.
