He then showed us the office of the mayor, Pilar, whom Conrad had met last February in St Augustine at the Menendez Ball. We expected lots of antiques and a large oak desk, but instead we saw lots of glass and modern design chairs. But this is ...

We are staying in a little village called Avin. We visited Cangas de Onis which is a pretty little town with an ancient bridge. We went to the seaside at Llanes and went on a cliff top walk.
