One of the most mountainous autonomous communities in Spain

Asturias, located in the north of the peninsula, occupies more than 1,000,000 hectares. Its marked orography makes it one of the most mountainous regions in Spain and Europe. This relief and the influence of the Atlantic Sea, which bathes more than 340 km of its coasts, generate a mild climate, which conditions agriculture, in which fodder crops stand out.

The urban area exceeds 28,000 hectares, between consolidated and unconsolidated urban lots. For its part, the developable plots cover more than 17,000 hectares, divided into sectorized and non-sectorized developable land.

The rustic properties have more than 1,000,000 hectares, which represents practically half of the autonomous community. It should be noted that the planning includes rural land in this category, which it cannot be built generally. Although, there are exceptions as in the rest of the country.

Even so, they occupy more than 23,000 hectares, in which fodder crops, fruit trees, especially apples, and legumes predominate.

Cattle, equipment, and sheep predominate in livestock.

With more than 1,500 hectares, the plots for residential use cover a large area, which is grouped in the municipalities of Áviles, Gijón, Siero and Oviedo. The capital of Oviedo has the largest residential area.

Asturias, territory to exploit

And is that most of the production volume of the primary and secondary sectors is concentrated in the main cities. However, it is a forestry power, largely occupied by the timber forest.
