The two Autonomous Communities…

Of my home

•What are they?

Principado de Asturias

Aragón.

WHY? My parents met them in Alcalá de Henares. They came here to work.My mother was born and lived in Zaragoza ( Aragón ) and my father was born in Oviedo ( Asturias ) and lived in a village next to the beach , called Salinas.

• Puente Romano. Cangas de Onís.

• (Asturias)This is the roman bridge.Cangas de Onis was the first Spain´s capital city.Here started La Reconquista.

La basílica del PilarIt´s in the downtown . We can see the Ebro river and the roman bridge.It´s so pretty !

Naranjo de bulnes or “Picu Urriellu” (Asturias)

The Naranjo is a mythical mountain to the spanish climbers.Its name is due to the orange colour of its slopes at sunset.It´s in the Picos de Europa National Park at the Cantabrian Mountain Range.

Pyrenees provides a natural border between France and Spain.Here it´s the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park.
