... of the 3-pack of Canary Juice I bought the other day, and wandered over to a cafe for breakfast.<br><br>With time to kill after, I wandered around but almost everything was closed, being a Sunday. I picked up some lunch for the ride to Oviedo before walking back to the station. I'm a bit sad to be leaving La Coruna, as it was the perfect re-introduction to Spain. La Coruna is nicknamed the "Crystal City" - a reference ...

The first was called 'Llanes', a pretty little town with alcove beaches and a lot of character. The pier jutting out between the bays is lined with huge, brightly painted concrete blocks - a permentant art peice called 'Cubos de la Memoria ...

I was also thrilled not to have to resort to the backup plan and sleep in the bus station. Door number 7 proved to be the lucky one this time. It only took a couple of hours and I secured myself the best room I've had so far this ...
