Oviedo 3

Saturday 8th: continued
We arrived here on Wednesday by FEVE and then have had to spend 4 nights here, so are very behind-hand. Tomorrow (Sunday) we go to Grado by FEVE again and will walk into town to the hostal Terry stayed in last year.
The weather is still cold and the showers are very heavy. In the sun the temperature creeps up to about 10-11C. However we have been well looked after here, with plenty of blankets.
The Café La Regenta is very good, raciones any time and you can share the Platos Combinados even if you only have one. They will happily bring 2 sets of cutlery and a spare plate. Lovely Tortillas and Ensaladas Mixtas. For those on a tight budget - if you eat at the bar it is cheaper than at an inside table and much cheaper than the outside terrace. (Closed Sundays)




When we came out of the Cathedral on Saturday there were families on their way to a First Communion service in the church.
We walked round to one of the other squares and found the bronze statue of the milk-girl and her donkey.
As we came back past the Cathedral the gaiteros were gathering in the square. We saw the couple walking up to join them from our bedroom window.
