      Oviedo 🏙️ und Cidre 🍾🍎

      6 giugno, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Die Übernachtung in der Großstadt ist mit den kostenlosen Stellplätzen der Stadt problemlos möglich.

      Oviedo zählt du einer der schönsten und saubersten Städten Spaniens. Auch uns gefällt‘s hier sehr gut.

      Das Nationalgetränk hier ist der Apfelwein (Cidre). Das Einschankprozedere wäre für uns gewöhnungsbedürftig 😂      Leggi altro

      Day 23 Oviedo
      I've been humming and hahing about tomorrow's decision, a silly amount of energy spent on a simple -doesn't-even-really-matter question, namely whether to continue on the Norte route (which I declared my intention to do a couple of days ago) or to start the Primitivo.
      Preoccupation gets on the way of really living.

      Most of the issue was to do with how to best use the week that Luca will be here at the end of the month. Inspired by Petra, (German, sharing a twin room tonight) I have chosen to do the 'O Camiño dos Faros' with him, which takes 8 days and follows the north west coast of Galicia, past its many lighthouses as the name suggests. A perfect path to do in the time we will have together. https://www.caminodosfaros.com/

      So, with so much coastline ahead with Luca, I have now decided-decided to walk the most mountainous, most remote, most natural (fewest made up paths) and arguably most challenging Camino. Starting tomorrow. Take a look at the map: I've followed the green route so far, to the tip of the triangle where it meets a yellow and a pink line. The Norte continues northwards (duh) with quite a lot more coast before turning down towards Santiago; the Primitivo, in yellow, goes directly through the hills and joins with the 'Frances' (pink) for a couple of days before Santiago.

      Oviedo is a super city, grand, smart, beautifully laid out, although it was a very long hot horrid noisy trafficky road into the centre. The city festival this weekend made exploring the streets all the more interesting, especially the many stalls with artisan foods and crafts, and local music performances. Lots of free cheese and meat samples!
      I didn't pay to enter the cathedral, but the Iglesia de San Isidoro El Real provided enough overblown decorative intricacy, glorified Madonna statuary and dead Jesuses to satisfy me for another long while. Isn't the icon with the three hands sweet though?

      I wondered today about how I usually make decisions, and how some things are perhaps best left to routine ... the simplicity of the daily process here is a relief: every day all I have to do is get up and go out, making sure I have enough food and water to keep me healthy. Arrive, wash, eat, sleep, repeat.
      I'm not as routinised usually, especially when there is no appointment to get up early for. I like spontaneity and flexibility, very much. But it can become lazy, so that I end up with a slowest, easiest, less challenging, more indulgent outcome. Mightn't it help me to be regular, a bit more consistent? To not have to make a decision about the ordinary things again and again, but let a daily rhythm carry me? Living alone for a lot of the last 3 years has really shown up my inertia, and my previous reliance on the comfortable assumptions that develop in shared living. Do you know what I'm on about? I don't have answers. Just a wish to be simpler, to be content, to be free.      Leggi altro

      Oviedo, Asturias, Spain

      27 novembre 2023, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

      It's rainy and a bit dreary now that we moved east to Asturias, but I don't mind. It's in the low to mid 50's F and we scored a huge apartment not far from the bus and train stations. Alfonso, our host, even picked us up at the front! Now that's service. After our tiny apartmtent in Santiago, we're ecstatic about the space and it cost a mind-boggling $60 or so per night.

      Our bus here took 4 1/2 hours and was one of the nicest buses I've been on. It was a "Supra" bus on Alsa lines. It didn't seem to cost much more than the others, but it had 3 leather seats across and was more like a first class plane experience, with lots of movies to choose from on the way. There was even a screen showing the speed of the bus, the location on the map, and the ETA, just like on a plane.

      We arrived at night, but set out right away to get some provisions and even made it to a local Vermouth tapas bar down the street. Americans usually only use vermouth in dry martinis, but we discovered the joy of Spanish Vermouth in Madrid and Malaga a few years ago. It's sweeter and served from barrels and with ice. We opted for glasses of Rioja and Alberinho wines this time with a light dinner of garlic Langostinos in olive oil. I was still pretty full from our last meal in Santiago. They're known for their meats and for the first time on the trip, we didn't have any seafood. We ordered a recommended meat plate for two to split. Even then, it was too much but it was a churrasco of various pork cuts. Six hours later, a couple of delicious shrimpys was all I needed.

      There's not a lot of tourism here, especially in November, and that might be why I like it. It's just locals going about their day. I think Oviedo is about the same size as Madison, but there are hundreds of 6-12 story buildings everywhere. Deanne's fighting a cold, so I walked out today solo and hit the Fine Arts museum. There's a great collection of Spanish work, and I especially loved the 2 rooms of Sorolla's. There's a new wing built on to two connected palaces. It was easy and fun to get lost in there.

      Outside, I saw that they're putting the finishing touches on their Christmas market in two locations. And I got a haircut. There's no shortages of barbers and hair stylists here. I walked by about 8 on the way to the barber I found online and then saw at least 5 more walking later. And I'm just in the center, not far from the old town. I like how the city is laid out. It's mostly modern with wide streets and boulevards. That's totally different from what we've seen on this trip so far.

      Deanne felt better by the next day, so we did the day trip to Gijon. Today is now our last full day here and we spent it just walking around in a light rain and enjoying the sights, which is pedestrian shopping streets, a beautiful central park, lots of statues including a Botero, and lots of amazing architecture. I took Deanne back to the museum and enjoyed it just as much the 2nd time. We found a nice local restaurant and ordered the set menus for $13 Euros. It was four courses and one included the Fabada, the amazing bean and sausage dish I had yesterday in Gijon. It was even better today! Once again, we're so full from these set late lunches that we just snack at home for dinner. We have not adjusted to going out to dinner at or after 9 pm. We're not even hungry by then.

      It's been a great town to just chill out in. We love it. But tomorrow we take an express bus to Bilbao after passing right through Cantabria. Bilbao is in Basque Country and we plan on going to the famous Guggenheim museum there and enjoying the sights in the Casco Viejo, or old town.

      🎶Bueeennaass 🎶

      12 giugno, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

      This morning started out with a grueling 1300-foot climb from the monastery to the top of the hill in just under 2 miles. Last night was not a restful night at the monastery, and I woke up at six and was out the door by 6:45 AM. It was peaceful walking through the valley in the morning, and at the top of the hills, walking through the clouds and the wet grass. Today’s walk was mostly through normal communities. Nothing particularly remarkable about them, but at the same time, it feels pleasant to walk through these places too.

      Already I am sensing a slight shift in the energy of the Camino. Just walking through El Berrón, a small town on the way to Oviedo, I received more "Buen Camino" salutations from residents than I received throughout the entire past two weeks walking the Camino Del Norte. I’m not sure if that is because this section of the Camino is often bypassed by most pilgrims because they take the bus to Oviedo, or if it’s just a different regard for travelers.

      One of the things that I liked about El Berrón was that there were lots of grandmas with their grandbabies. I stopped around noon, which is the coffee/wine hour, and there were a lot of grandparents and their friends adoring their grandbabies. Spanish babies are a particular kind of adorable—sweet little brown eyes and sandy blonde hair. 😍

      Tonight, I am staying in Oviedo, a city that people have told me is beautiful, and they were beyond right! I love it here! 🙂‍↔️ It’s like San Francisco and Seattle had a beautiful European baby. My favorite thing so far is the big park called San Francisco Park. 😏 It is full of a hundred different kinds of trees, water fountains, ponds, beautiful (clean) statues, sweet little puppy dogs, and inviting park benches. 🌳 It looks very well-loved. Oviedo used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, and that is why it has so many incredible architectural buildings. As a matter of fact, the Camino Primitivo that I am going to walk soon was the Camino walked by the King of Asturias to Santiago de Compostela. 🤴

      In addition to the gorgeous park and buildings, there are so many sculptures and art pieces placed around the city. It’s like a walking museum. And you know the even better part? They have the BEST ice cream of my life here. 🍨 A museum where you can eat ice cream! A lifetime ticket for one, please! 😁 All this to say, I may need an extra day of rest here. 😏

      Today I cheated. I walked 19.5 miles and still hadn’t arrived in Oviedo and had 3 more miles to go. I couldn’t do it today, so I hopped on a train and rode the last 5 km to Oviedo. I hope the Camino police don’t come and arrest me! 🚔 I arrived at 2:45 and couldn’t get into the hostel until 3:30, so I looked for a spot to have lunch. Boy oh boy, did I find it! 😋 I had my first 12€ menu del día today at La Bodega Riojana. It was so good! I think the primero, the most delicious fabada asturiana, was actually enough food for me, but I ate it all, including the arroz con leche, with lots of joy in my heart! When I first walked in carrying my backpack, looking a bit sweaty and haggard, I felt like Hagrid walking into the Leaky Cauldron with Harry Potter on my side. 🧌 It felt like the whole restaurant was looking at me.

      Final note from today: One of the things that I’ve noticed about Spain is that people don’t simply say "good afternoon"; they sing it. The words for good afternoon are "buenas tardes," but most people will say "buenas," with this long, extended, sort of musical quality about it. I love that—singing a little gift to you each time you greet one another. 💞

      Girls only 4-bed dorm tonight! Princess palace! 😃 Maybe one will be my Camino bestie and I don’t even know it yet! 🤞🏻

      Also, pick up Urim and Thummim today, in case I need help making any decisions.      Leggi altro

      Camino Primitivo

      8 maggio, Spagna ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      (Bert) Der Camino Primitivo gilt als älteste Wegeführung des Jakobsweges. Er führt von der asturischen Hauptstadt Oviedo auf 310 Kilometer in anspruchsvoller Weise über Lugo nach Santiago de Compostela. Wir fahren in heute sozusagen in umgekehrter Richtung, sehen viele Pilgerwanderer die Straße kreuzen und manchmal auch am Straßenrand marschieren. Hunderte von Kurven durch oft karstige Landschaft, zumeist auf etwa 1.000 Höhenmetern, mit gelegentlichen Blicken auf den etwas südlich von uns liegenden Hauptkamm der Pyrenäen; dort sind einige Gipfel noch schneebedeckt. … Bei einer Kaffeepause plaudern wir mit englischen Bikern, die mit schwerem Gerät (Goldwings) unterwegs sind; es gibt eine gute Fährverbindung von Portsmouth nach Santander, da bietet sich eine Motorradreise durch Portugal Spanien an. By the way: Die Sozia der weißen Gold Wing ist blind; wieviel Vertrauen kann man haben? … Die Übernachtung ist verdächtig günstig. Das hat natürlich einen Grund, den wir allerdings erst vor Ort erfassen. Das riesige, baulich spektakuläre Kongresscenter in Oviedo, in dem auf einigen Stockwerken noch ein Hotel betrieben wird, scheint teilweise verlassen, vielleicht ist es auch baufällig. An der Rezeption werden wir aufgefordert, in die Tiefgarage zu fahren, auch wenn es nicht so aussehen würde, dass man da hinein fahren könne. So ist es dann auch. Abenteuerlich … Norbert entdeckt eine Sportsbar, in der wir ein Cachopo tradicional essen, eine Art galizisches Cordon bleu. Es ist unfassbar groß und tröstet uns darüber hinweg, dass Manu Neuer kurz vor Schluss den Ball nicht festhalten kann. Real 2, Bayern 1.Leggi altro

      Cider regio

      27 maggio, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Deze streek is de cider regio en er zijn overal cider bars. Oviedo lijkt het centrum te zijn van de regio, er is een straat waar alleen maar cider bars zijn.

      Ik zit nu aan de cider. Die moet ik natuurlijk proberen en vergelijken met onze eigen cider. Het is wel een beetje veel, 70 cl, hoop dat ik mijn hotel nog kan vinden, ik voel hem nu al zitten. Andere fotos zijn mijn uitzicht vanaf het terras.

      De cider hier is dunner, lichter, frisser, iets zuurder. Geen nagisting, het schuimt niet, maar heeft wel net zo veel prik. De fles van 70 cl heeft een kurk en wordt eerst een aantal keer gekanteld, waarna de kurk wordt getrokken en er een speciale uitschenkdop op gedaan wordt. Een plastic dop met twee gaten zodat de cider er aan een kant uitkomt en de lucht er aan de andere kant in kan. Ze schenken het op een bijzondere manier van grote hoogte. Dus de fles houd je ze hoog mogelijk en het glas zo laag mogelijk en dan schenk je een bodempje uit in het schuin gehouden glas.      Leggi altro

      Oviedo ein Figurenkabinet

      8 giugno, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Da das Wetter heute nicht so toll war, eher bewölkt und regnerisch entschieden wir uns nochmal eine Stadt einzuschieben. Oviedo - die Hauptstadt Asturiens und ausgezeichnet als eine der saubersten Städte Europas. Vom Reiseführer würde empfohlen durch die Stadt zu schlendern mit ihren gepflegten, farbenfrohen und eleganten Häuserfassaden, Gassen und Plätzen. Und genau das machten wir, auch wenn es mit Sonnenschein wahrscheinlich noch schöner gewesen wäre. Eine Kuriosität sind die vielen Skulpturen, die man überall in der Altstadt verteilt findet, aber irgendwie tragen sie auch zum Charme bei. Ein Highlight soll die Comicfigur Mafalda sein, die im Park auf einer Bank sitzt, und sich auch wenn sie eigentlich aus Argentinien stammt in Spanien großer Beliebtheit erfreut.
      Nach einem Einkauf ging es dann abends wieder raus aus der Stadt zu einem Parkplatz am Fluss, von wo aus wir am nächsten Tag in ein kleines Abenteuer starten wollten.      Leggi altro

      Cathedral van Oviedo

      28 maggio, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Vanmorgen naar de kathedraal van Oviedo geweest. Ze hadden een audio tour wat het redelijk interessant maakte, naar vraag me nu niet meer waar het over ging.

      Er lijken nogal wat relikwieën in de kathedraal, waaronder de doek die over Jezus' gezicht lag, een soort lijkwade met een hoop bloed. Verder staat er de Ark uit de tempel in Jeruzalem. Je moet wel diep gelovig zijn om dit allemaal aan te nemen.

      Grappig is dat de ingang, zie foto, geen beelden op de sokkels heeft. Dit is opzettelijk met het idee dat je je leven zo leeft dat jij op die sokkel zou kunnen staan.      Leggi altro
