Along Spain's northern coast, Asturias is renowned for its rugged mountainous landscape, as well as its beaches. A Christian enclave during Spain's Islamic period, Asturias was home to two important pilgrimage routes, the Ruta de Plata and the Camino de Santiago (St. James' Way), which is why so many historical buildings and monuments can be seen along her mountainous roads. Covadonga was the site of an important battle between the Christians and the Moors. This is the Spanish version. Espana 909.
