But wait! This weekend we took a trip en masse to Gijon which is the biggest city in Asturias (I think, at least that's what Google Maps says). Luckily the appalling weather which had plagued us for a week disappeared and we had a beautiful sunny day! And even more luckily, the lovely Frankie has sent me some of her pictures from our day trip to make this post a little less boring!
Just in case we forgot where we were, the Spanairds put a massive sign up to remind us!
And the Brits being Brits - we take a picture inside it!
I think the world is aware that Spanish food is amazing. What the world may not know is that the best Spanish food ever comes in tiny baguettes. Pinchos is their name and being tasty is their game! On arrival in Gijon we were all a little peckish but pinchos to the rescue!!
Can't explain how good they are!! That and a cafe con leche and we were good to go.... to the beach!
Basically we spent most of our day in Gijon either eating, drinking, or lying on the grass at the top of a hill and talking about how sunny it was. It's cause we're hardcore party animals like that! The city was absolutely beautiful and just walking around it was enough for our first visit.
I look really tiny in this picture... I promise they aren't really that tall! It's probably just Alwyn's sunglasses making her look bigger!
My favourite picture of the day has to be this! Which was taken outside a tourist shop - everyone had to get a picture and so a poor six year old Spanish boy was forced to wait while 6 twenty-somethings posed inside a Knight's Head.
(For Jacqueline - TO CAMELOT!)
So that was our day out to Gijon, can't wait to go again! Hopefully should have some more adventures to recount soon, although the biggest plan I have right now is to wait for the Dairy Milk package that's on it's way from Falkirk!
