Casona de la Paca Cudillero

Time to put a few miles behind us, hence we travelled onwards to Luarca. This took us on a route that skirts the Picos de Europa mountain range; endless viaducts and driving up and down hills for a number of hours, arriving at our destination; Luarca, still on the - very wet - Spanish north ...

... joint. The province of Asturias is famous for it's hard cider. They pour the cider from the bottle as high as they can lift their arm into a glass which they hold as low as possible in their other arm. This is done to oxygenate the cider. I tried it and didn't like it that much; Conrad thought it was ok.

We had jamon serrano, Conrad's favorite, some type of sausage (linguisa), and a ...

... muy lejano ibamos a añorar en una larga madrugada.... Salimos a caminar un poco, encontramos arboles enanos sin hojas, estatuas de personas sentadas en un parque o como si caminaran junto a ti, un mercadi infestado de charcuterias que invitaban a darle una mordida a cada pierna de jamon serrano que se nos pusiera en frente. Despues de alucinarnos con todas las tiendas del mercado... X fin llego la hora de los churros deliciosos! Asi se nos paso nuestro primer dia "peninsular ...

... I should finally take her advice!

On to the bus, where the plan today was to execute the 3 P's - pop in my iPod, plop down on the seat, and pass out! But not today, as the road to Oviedo was extremely tight and twisty, making it impossible to sleep as I flopped about in my seat. Plus, there was quite a pleasant distraction on board ...

The reason this bus was more expensive was because it was a ...

... time and information that I had coupled with the walkable-with-but-still-bloody-heavy nature of my rucksack that it probably wasn´t the best idea. My cousin had told me of a little 'feve' trainline (separate to the main Spanish operator) which runs across the north coast so I decided to take the Santander to Oviedo line and stop off to stay in towns along the way. The track curves along the coastline with sweeping mountain-ranges to one side and ...

... few hours before the match watching the surfers at the excellent city beach, and then wandering through the three gardens which surround the stadium. The Parque Isabel la Catolica is the most pleasant, where young children in smart cord overalls chased chickens and threw bread at peacocks. Elderly men in pressed white shirts read the newsaper while their wives fanned themselves with the newspaper supplements. The football ...
