Being located in the southern part of Austria and in the heart of Europe, it is extremely easy to go on local excursions as the distances are very short and the road systems are well developed. Today our destination was Ptui, a town with about 23,000 residents, that is the capital of Lower Styria.Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:54:59 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_spain-travel-–-exploring-the-asturian-coast-colombres-el-pindal-and-the-cares-mountain-valley_44729.aspxMy last full day in Asturias had arrived. I had long wanted to travel to this northern Spanish mountain region, and my six days here had not been a disappointment. Over the last few days I had had a chance to visit some of the large cities in Asturias (Oviedo and Gijón), I had thoroughly explored the mountain regions in Teverga and the Picos de Europa, and yesterday I made my way to the coast to the beautiful waterfront towns of Ribadesella and Llanes.

Now in the mid-afternoon I had to continue eastwards towards Llanes, another picturesque coastal town on the Cantabrian Sea. I was going to stay overnight near Llanes in a small country hotel called “la Posada de Babel” in the village of La Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:51:25 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_spain-travel-–-asturias-the-tito-bustillo-prehistoric-cave-and-a-scenic-walk-in-ribadesella_44727.aspxWell, my time in the high mountains of the Asturian Picos de Europa was over. I checked out of the Hotel La Cepada, my cozy mountain abode with the picturesque views of the town of Cangas de Onís, got into my car and drove northwards towards the Atlantic coastline. After two days with rather poor weather, the skies were clearing up nicely and a gorgeous sunny day was in store for me.

I was staying at the Hotel La Cepada whose elevated location on a hillside provides amazing views over the town below. The weather had cleared up since yesterday and fortunately the rain had stopped.Fri, 10 Dec 2010 06:49:00 GMThttps://articleseen.com/Article_spain-travel-–-asturias-exploring-cangas-de-onís-and-covadonga_44723.aspxMy last day in Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, had arrived. After a nice breakfast I checked out of the Barcelo Oviedo Cervantes Hotel and started driving through the mountains towards a village called Arriondas. On my schedule for this rather drizzly and cool day was a canoe run down the Sella River with an outdoor adventure company called Frontera Verde. When I arrived there before noon, Juan Feliz, the owner, informed me that a big group had already left to go down the river. The prospect ofFri, 10 Dec 2010 06:47:34 GMT
