Let me check the forecast…
Yeah, come to Asturias, it’ll be great, no, the weather won’t be terrible in June, not in June. Pack an umbrella just in case, and a jumper, maybe wellies. But it’ll be fine.
We can go canoeing down the river Sella, it looks like this, this is June…
Almost any Sunday in June on the Sella
Not like this, although this is June too, last week in fact (this is not the Sella, athough it looked remarkably similar).

You can learn new words too, like la tromba… which means downpour (or tornado) and will appear in the local paper headlines along with phrases like ‘local restaurant washed into the sea’.
Restaurant washed into the sea
This is what faced the Wyke clan when they came to enjoy the late Asturian spring. One day of sun, then cloud and rain. Still, they’re a hardy bunch and enjoyed the stuff they were able to do. After all, it didn’t rain continuously, and we had the enjoyment of watching the river rise by about three metres (it was well above the concrete bases of the pillars in the first picture).
I would recommend visiting in July, August or September, but really, this could probably happen any time (just like England in 2007).
