El Berrón to Oviedo - dry and sunny

Today was a short one which was a relief after yesterday. And it was also dry - in fact perfect walking weather.
The route to Oviedo was pretty flat and through countryside until about the last 3k. Lots of horses and donkeys again and attractive gentle vistas.
A reasonably sensibly placed breakfast stop after 9k and then on into the city.
Oviedo is lovely - the centre has many interesting historic buildings. We toured the cathedral with an good audio guide and cress picked up various things she needed- every shop you could wish for.
However the food situation for me is still a bit dire - no actually fully vegetarian restaurants, which is fine as I really don’t mind if I can eat something but it’s very hard to find somewhere that has anything at all that I can eat other than a basic mixed salad. And I’m going to struggle to walk 300k on mixed salad. It could be the supermarket for me! Clearly the Frances vibe hasn’t reached here yet!
But actually …. By a complete fluke we bumped into a fab place selling an eclectic mix of largely vegetarian food!! Had delicious guacamole with plantain slices and then a vegetable stir fry with tofu - all fab and toppers off with a glass of Godello. Perfect and such a relief to have a proper meal. Not sure when I’ll get another one but happy to live for the day and today was good.Read more
