Oviedo picnic

What every traveller needs. A Swiss army and a ‘spork’. Make sure you do NOT try and carry the knife in your hand luggage…. Whoosh it’ll be gone !!!
I had a delightful picnic today, sheep’s cheese bought at the market in Oviedo, with local tomatoes and fresh bread. The cheese man was cute. Then my favourite fruit, paraguayos served with yoghurt. I had an hysterical conversation with Maria in the fruit shop, people were brought in off the street to explain that a paraguayo is a cross between a peach and a nectarine and looks like a flat peach.
I had a good wander around Oviedo after the most fabulous train trip from Leon through the mountains to Oviedo. Trains are definitely the way to travel. I will give you a taste of train travel and more to come.Read more
