Well, I`ll regard it as a success if any non-Spanish speaking person reads this. The degree of knowledge about Asturies is very little in the English speaking world, to say the least. I often wonder what is the reason of this ignorance. Maybe it is all because Asturias is currently part of Spain, but doesn`t fit at all in the old "sun, fiesta, flamenco" clichès. Therefore, foreigners simply ignore our existence. In addition to that, there is not any "strife for independence" here (so far), and many people apparently believe that the Basques have an original culture, while the other peoples who live under the Spanish yoke have all exactly the same inheritance, language, folktales, dances and tunes.

This page exists (amid other reasons) to show how wrong are those who think that way. My goal is to unveil the concealed mythology of a forgotten country. I am sure scholars will feel delighted at the fascinating combination of celtic and latin influences in our culture, and I hope all the others enjoy the strange beauty of the tales. My investigations have been collected in a book, "The Creation of The World, the Founder Hero and Other Topics of Asturian Mythology". In the current webpage, I include an abstract of every chapter of my book, along with the option of downloading it all

GO AHEAD!
