... it was closed to the public, so we only looked at it from the outside and took a picture of the plaque.



Then, we made our way to Bar Aviles to meet Hector. The guys had a beer and we all chatted. Then our evening of bar hopping began. We went to another place and then eventually made our way to Corazon del Diamante, a bar where Hector's girlfriend works. Apparently ...

... ir y venir y conociendo las calles, la gente y la vida de Oviedo y para cerrar con broche de oro no podia faltar la calle Gascona famosisima por las sidrerias y los verdaderos malabaristas que las sirven, nos instalamos en la "Sidreria Asturias" una de las mas antiguas, el mesero que servia la sidra con el vaso a la altura de las rodillas y la botella a la altura de su cabeza increibleeee atinadaaaa! y luego ya para terminar con el show el vaso y la botella a la misma altura pero ...

... she was Brazilian! Definitely not expecting that. I didn't even notice until she told me, but there was a Portuguese tinge to her Spanish. Perhaps I didn't notice at first since this is Galicia after all, where the local language is a mix of Spanish and Portuguese. After that, I further noticed that she used a very soft 'Z' pronouncing her 'C's, neither lispy like in Spanish, nor as hard as in English. It was ...

... Luigi who was on the trail to Santiago but was in need of a bit of a cheat day - getting the train to the town where I was headed and walking to the next Albergue (pilgrim´s hostel) from there. I spent most of the morning with him; arriving in 'Ribadesella', looking for the (again, indespensible) tourist office, waiting for it to open, searching for my campsite and finding the continuation of his Camino. After we´d parted ways, I spent another ...

... above their heads (as you can see in the photos for this section) and into the tip of the glasses they hold below with the other hand outstretched ... and they look straight ahead all the time while they do that. They are very accurate, I must say, as the cider hits the inside edge of the glass and creates a fresh froth. The waiters come round all the time and serve fresh glasses of cider that way. I understand that there is a traditionl there for annual ...

... a walk up to Monte Urgull Parque. At its pinnacle is a large statue of Christ. He is regally blessing the city rather than embracing it as he does in Rio. The view over the bay from this pleasant hill is a good indication why San Sebastián is so popular. It has cathedrals, plazas, a clean beach and gardens. It also has a small, green island in the bay with a solitary building jutting out above the trees. People can't resist ...
