Santander to Oviedo




Our hotel street and home to many cidrerias



pouring cider

Asturian cheeses and mebrillo

¡Fabada!

Tommy and his orange soda




We stored our bags at the hotel and headed out to see if it was clear enough to take a boat tour, but the weather did not cooperate.  Another gray, drizzly day.  we instead headed to a market we happened upon last night, el Mercado del Este.  It is a small building with a few stores and a couple of restaurants.  We had a nice lunch and headed to the bus station after picking up our bags.  We had a smooth ride to Oviedo, checked into out hotel, and strolled the center before settling in at a cidreria for dinner.  We had some typical Asturian dishes that were very tasty and filling.  Add fabada to my list of dishes that I will make back at home, though I will save it for winter.
