Description

In the heart of Asturias, where green valleys embrace ancient mountains, unfolds a magical route that immerses you in a world of natural wonders and centuries-old traditions. Begin your journey in an enchanted forest, where tall trees stand as silent guardians of millenary secrets. The ground is carpeted with moss, and the air is filled with the murmur of crystal-clear streams meandering through the rocks. As you proceed, you will come across meadows dotted with wildflowers, where cows graze placidly. The tinkling of their bells seems like a rural symphony that envelops you. The mountains are reflected in serene lakes like mirrors, creating a landscape that looks like something out of a fairy tale. The mist, like a magical cloak, drifts over the peaks, hiding and revealing mysteries at every turn of the road. You will discover centuries-old stone bridges that cross rivers of clear, fresh water, inviting you to cross into the unknown. Asturian tradition is palpable in every corner. The hórreos, wooden barns raised on pillars, are witnesses of the ancestral wisdom of local architecture. In the bars, the aroma of cider and the dishes of Asturian gastronomy welcome you with warmth.  As night falls, the sky lights up with a blanket of stars, and the silence is only broken by the chirping of crickets. It is at this moment that you feel the true magic of Asturias, a land of unearthly beauty that transports you to a world where nature and history intertwine in an eternal embrace.

"h) Information on the subscription of an optional insurance that covers the expenses originated in the event that the traveler decides to terminate the contract or the expenses of assistance, including those of repatriation, in case of accident, illness or death."



Said section refers to the obligation to inform the client of the possibility of contracting insurance, not to the obligation to include insurance on the trip, that is, the client has the power (option) to contract insurance with the agency or not. . The agency has the obligation to inform that it is recommended that the client take out insurance that includes, at least, issues such as repatriation,... which is basically inclusion insurance.
