Cliff Coast of Asturias

The Principality of Asturias (or simply Asturias) is a region located in the North of Spain (SW of Europe) limited by the Cantabrian Sea in the North and the Castilla y Leon, Cantabria and Galicia regions in the South, East and West respectively. The Asturias Coast represents around 30% of the Cantabrian Coast, the northern limit of the Iberian Peninsula, and is surrounded by the Cantabrian Sea. This sea represents the transition of the Atlantic Ocean to the Biscay Gulf, between Spain and France. Towards the South, the Cantabrian Coast is limited by the Cantabrian Mountains, up to 2,648 m altitude, which axis is located only at 20–50 km from the sea.
