Printing: Imprenta Mundo, SLU D. L.: AS 04442-2018 © CONSEJERÍA DE EMPLEO, INDUSTRIA Y TURISMO DEL PRINCIPADO DE ASTURIAS asturiastourism.co.uk We all know that Asturias is an authentic natural paradise: that's why you're here. A landscape that has been formed, with effort and perseverance, by thousands of Asturians from prehistoric times to the present day. And we want to share with you in depth the legacy of our ancestors, our cultural heritage, explaining its meaning and how it defines us as a people and makes us proud. Sometimes, this heritage reaches levels of international excellence: rock art, the St. James's Way and the art of the Asturian monarchy have been recognised as World Heritage by UNESCO. But Asturias is much more than that, because our villages have preserved outstanding cultural treasures, with the hórreo (typical granary) as the centrepiece; because of our enchanting coastal and inland villages; because the history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was written with the blue ink of the ocean crossed by the emigrants and the black ink of the coal extracted from our mines.
