Known for it’s cidra , chorizo, breathtaking views and world renowned cave paintings, Asturias is a wonderful place to absorb some genuine Spanish culture. For the Fall 2007 SUMC orientation the student body got to spend a week in this autonomous community that sits on the edge of Spain’s northern coast and which overlooks the Cantabrian sea.
Like the rest of northern Spain and much like my home in New England, the climate in Asturias is anything but predictable and unfortunately during our stay we saw our fair share of precipitation. However, the rainfall didn't put a damper on the post card
pretty views we saw from the cliffs in Llanes, nor did it diminish our excitement about observing the prehistoric cave paintings in Asturias’ famous "cuevas".

During the week some of us went kayaking while others soaked up the rays on secluded beaches, some of us relaxed in our camp style cabins while others explored; but every student clearly fell into, and fell in love with Spain’s laid back and inviting culture.
