When we arrived, Diego picked us up from the station and drove us to their apartment. We set up our beds and unpacked a bit and then headed out to meet Mary for lunch. The three of us ate at one of their favorite restaurants; a place that serves traditional food (like Fabadas, which is basically a bean stew). After our 2+ hour lunch (typically Spanish in that respect!), we walked around the city and eventually met back up with Diego and Oscar. We drove to the top of a hill to see
On the hilltop...it was a little windy!
We had Diego´s “Asturian Big Mac” for dinner, which is grilled ham and cheese and then a mix of tuna, lettuce, eggs, olives and mayo in between another piece of bread. It was delicious! After dinner, we watched an Asturian film…at least there were subtitles! :)
Afterwards, we headed to the coast. The Cantabrian Sea was very pretty, although a little windy…definitely would not be going for a swim at this time of year!
Sunday, I wasn´t feeling well, so I passed on the morning stroll and slept until I had to pack for the bus. The five-hour journey home on the bus and through the mountains was less than entertaining on a queasy stomach! Oh well, at least I got to watch Sahara in Spanish-Matthew McConaughey looks good in any language.
All in all, a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Many thanks to Mary, Diego, Oscar AND Kimmy!
