The Station Master



This is the best Station Master in all of Spain! If you are ever in Asturias and find yourself on the train line C2, that runs from Aviles to El Entrego, you absolutely must stop off in Veguin to meet my friend Isidoro! I don't know the technicality's of what a Station Master does but in addition to those he sells tickets and hands out bombones and hard candies, dispenses weather reports, informs people of local fiestas and happenings, gives directions and has time for kind words to everyone. Isidoro has brought me sidra from his Aunt's orchard and Spanish red wine to share with my family. Gracias Isidoro. See you in a year.
