General information about Asturias

Asturias is an autonomous community located on the northern coast of Spain, at the foot of the majestic Cantabrian Mountains and along the Bay of Biscay. This is where the Reconquista begins, a historical process during which Christian kingdoms started to reclaim territories conquered by the Arabs and unify Spanish lands.

The climate of Asturias is characterized by richness and high humidity, making it significantly different from the southern regions of the country. Throughout the year, there is a large amount of precipitation. The summer months are generally warm and humid, with temperatures rarely exceeding 30°C. August is considered the hottest month in this region. In winter, the weather can be cool, with a lot of rain, and snow can be seen at elevations of 1,000 meters and above.

Russian-speaking population in Asturias

An interesting fact: according to Maria Makhlayeva, a client manager at the AsturiasRusia agency, Russian-speaking residents in Asturias are quite rare. Locals believe that this community does not attract Russians, as they are concentrated in the southern part of Spain, where there are specialized areas and institutions for Russian speakers, as well as developed diasporas.

This is because very few people in Russia are aware of the existence of Asturias. For example, last year Maria saw her fellow countrymen in a shoe store only once. Our company is the first and currently the only one in Asturias working with clients from Russia, which makes us unique in this market.
