In Asturias, you will pay for popular American items. Cost for tolitries, film, etc is comparable to the US. Bring an empty suitcase with you to put your...

Snow in winter...

by asturnut

If you go in winter, be prepared! Of course it doesn't snow much in the valleys, but in the mountains snowfall is no to be taken lightly. Remote mountain village roads can be impassible.
