With the arrival of Autumn, I am starting to get homesick again for my adopted home Asturias. I love the cozy feeling of winter in Northern Spain. The constant rain brings more people indoors to the bars to socialize and the bars offer a different fare in winter. Hot wine served with fig, caldo de la casa,(soup of the house) and roasted or boiled chestnuts to name a few. I miss the smell and homeyness of a coal cook-stove warming the kitchen where everyone gathers.I miss my many cousins, uncles and aunts. This is a photo taken last Christmas Eve/Day in Bar Corea with my husband Miguel, cousins Vicen, Berto, me and Jose Luis.
