Tuesday 30th september,
Overcast morning, with the way following minor roads through small villages after Colloto mainly through industrial areas into Oviedo. A 22 degree day and humid. Accompanied by John a french peregrino who will finish in Oviedo, we arrive at 1230. A lack of directions from the cathedral to albergue so eventually locate a watchmaker with a map and knowledge of the local streets. Albergue does not open until 1500 so I wander around the old part of town and find a student bar for lunch with a menu del dia for E9s good value. After checking into the albergue I visit the Cathedral museum, an amazing amount of wealth stored here. The Cathedral's main alta took 5 years to do the carvings and mouldings and then 3 years to the guilding and painting plus there are 20 minor side altas for praying at?? In the evening found a small bar with menu del dia and the opportunity to try the local fabada beans with pork and blood sausage as primero plato, a hearty meal that proved a bit windy later, on peregrino clock and it is bed at 2100 hrs.
