Asturians, the proud inhabitants of the enchanting region of Asturias in Spain, have a rich and fascinating history that is deeply intertwined with their breathtaking surroundings. From the picturesque town of Ribadesella, where the Tito Bustillo Cave stands as a testament to ancient human presence, to Cangas de Onís with its medieval bridge that whispers tales from centuries past. The Asturian spirit is as wild and untamed as the shaggy landscapes that surround them, and are resilient like their ancestors who fought valiantly in historic battles such as the Battle of Covadonga in 722, which marked a turning point in Spanish history. The echoes of this battle can still be felt today at the Museo Militar. In darker times, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Asturians found themselves caught up in conflict. Oviedo became a city under siege while La ciudad sitiada witnessed firsthand the horrors of war. These chapters serve as reminders of their strength and determination even amidst adversity. But it's not all about battles and strife; there is also room for celebration and culture. Woody Allen himself chose Avilés for his premiere, showcasing how this vibrant region attracts artists from around the world. And speaking of artistry, Oviedo boasts architectural gems like St. Michael's Church of Lillo – an awe-inspiring structure that stands tall against time. Asturians embody resilience, pride, and an unyielding love for their land – traits passed down through generations. As they continue to write new chapters in their storied history, one thing remains certain: Asturias will forever captivate hearts with its beauty and charm.
