Bar El Valle

My little town of Veguin may be tiny, but it has some of the most charming bars in Spain. El Valle for example is unique. I love the terrace in the back of this enormous bar. Smokers can enjoy a cigarette and I can savor my sidra and soak in the views of the Asturian mountains and Rio Nalon in the background. You will want to stop by El Valle and say hola to Monica (pictured above) and most definitely order 'una botella de sidra'

I love foreign movies and especially those made in Spain. One particular movie Ashes From The Sky, was filmed in Asturias just miles from my husband's home. My good friend Goyo took us to find the bar that was the focal point of the movie but I don't think we ever actually found it. We did however find lots and lots of other bars! * The photos above show an apparatus used to pour a bottle of cider at your table whenever you want a drink instead of waiting for the barkeep.

Me encantan las películas extranjeras y especialmente aquellas filmadas en Espana. Una película en particular "Cenizas del cielo" se filmó en Asturias, a unos kilómetros de la casa de mi esposo. Mi buen amigo Goyo nos llevó a encontrar un bar que era el principal lugar donde se rodó la película pero ya no se encontraba allí ya que lo construyeron para la película. De todos modos encontramos muchos otros bares. Las fotos muestran un aparato que se usa para escanciar las botellas de sidra en tu mesa cuando te apetezca beber en lugar de esperar por el camarero.
