Hungry yet? There were lots of local vendors around selling traditional Asturian fare, like a huge farmer's market essentially.


This is an Asturian properly pouring the Sidra (cider). One must "escansar" the cider by pouring it from high up in the air, essentially to let it breathe I suppose. They seriously do this in all the cider houses around town, which makes for a good time but a very sticky floor. That Nitendo-Tetris-looking building in the background is one of several apartment buildings that I think look really cool too.


This is me sporting one of my new Spanish-tops in front of a gigantic cow. Yeah, they sort of have a thing for cows around here, which I think is awesome. As you can tell this is a roundabout/traffic circle (and there are TONS here... seriously, intersections are almost non-existant) and every one of them has some sort of statue, work of art, fountain, flowers, or some combination of those int he center.


Some bagpipe players in traditional outfits... you can really see the Celtic influence in this area.
