Biography A bilingual writer in Spanish and Asturian, she began publishing in the 1950s in regional newspapers. She married the writer, Luis Aurelio Álvarez. Together, they wrote and published, Xente de casa: Cien asturianos de hoy (1974). In her texts, Alías presents an idealized but alive Asturias, narrating in a clear, clean and natural language.
