Asturias (/æˈstʊəriəs, ə-/; Spanish: [asˈtuɾjas]; Asturian: Asturies [asˈtuɾjes]; Galician: Asturias), officially the Principality of Asturias (Spanish: Principado de Asturias; Asturian: Principáu d'Asturies), is an autonomous community in north-west Spain. It is coextensive with the province of Asturias, and contains some of the territory that was part of the larger Kingdom of Asturias in the Middle Ages.

Lovely place to visit and discover all about mills throughout the ages & countries, best we've seen yet, even on a showery day in October. We had an English version of the video all to ourselves! It is a beautiful place. Kids old & young will enjoy a visit, quite interactive and plenty of water around! Well worth the €5 entrance. Parking might be a prob in high season.

Bustiello's mining village is an exception within the Asturian industry heritage. It was built between 1890 and 1925 by Sociedad Huellera Espanola, an important mining company of the industrial group and a Marques of Comillas' property. The church, the monument, the club, the school, the hospital... And the engineers and workers' housing meet a studied architectural ensemble plan and an aesthetic care which are unsual. In order to discover Bustiello and understand the keys to the 'industrial paternalism' which it exemplifies, the route should start in the Visitors Centre located in one of the ancient houses, in Don Isidro's house, where it is possible to find explanations about the geological and industrial importance of the mining area, as well as the Marques of Comillas' corporate network, and finally, about the characteristics of the village from a historical, artistic and patrimonial point of view.
