Asturias

Asturias is a northern coastal region just east of Galicia. We stayed in the cutest little town with wonderfully welcoming people. This is a picture of our little bungalow and my travel mates. The bungalow was so cute inside with a little kitchen so we could continue our family style dinners. Since it is so green up here the meat is of such better quality than where I live in the south.

 We stayed in a little beach town called Cadavedo. La Regalina is the name of the camping place where we rented the cabin. 

 When we got into town it was lunch time so we asked for some recommendations. There was a small bar called El Casino around the corner. We decided to try out the menu of the day which came with a drink and three courses followed by dessert for ten euros. Oh myyyyyy!!!!! This food was soooo good. We started with a seafood soup, next was a stew of meat and potatoes, following that I had lamb, and lastly some turron cake. Turron is a spanish treat similar to a brittle made with almonds but you can find this flavor for many desserts. This was such a great find. The people were so kind and the food I will never forget. The atmosphere in the bars up north are much different from the south. In Andalucia it is very loud and everyone is drinking no matter what time of the day. When they talk it almost seems like they are angry and yelling. Everyone was much more friendly and calm in the north.

 It was a little cloudy our first day but we still got plenty of exploring in for the day.

 We walked around the little town and spotted lots of livestock and these little houses for their firewood to keep dry.

 Later we hiked to a little lighthouse which was not anything special but the views were still quite nice!

 After that we found a beautiful little port town called Luarca. I loved all the colorful little boats. We enjoyed a coffee and walked around a bit.

 The following day we spent in Oviedo. Oviedo is the capital of Asturias. Sadly, I only took this one picture below because I seemed to be suffering from a kidney stone and was in an unbelievable amount of pain. Luckily I was only feeling ill for just under two days and finished up the trip healthy.
