Oviedo to Grado

People here are so kind. Our train was due to leave Oviedo just after 1.30pm so we went into the station bar/café to look for food. They did not really start serving until 1pm, but hearing that we would 'just have time to eat it' they cooked for us half an hour early. Maybe if they had been busy they could not have done so, but we were very grateful and said so. A good reasonably priced meal for anyone needing something on a Sunday when so many places are closed. (Tapas/bocadillos if no hot meals available.)
When we arrived in Grado the sun was shining, but out of the sun it is still cold with snow visible on the mountains when the cloud lifts.
We walked along the Camino, on the main road, from the station through to the edge of town. The hostel that Terry stayed in was closed and for sale but there was a place opposite (Hotel Autobar) which gives special rates to pilgrims.
We had time to look around the old town which Terry missed last year as the Camino signs do not take you right into town. We passed the Capilla (chapel) de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. Then we had a good meal in the Café Moscon, at the side of the Registro Civil.
