Un paseo por Bueño

My very good friend Goyo picked me up in his Citroën after breakfast yesterday. Our mission was to seek out a cider bar that was in a Spanish movie filmed in this area. The movie is" Ashes from the Sky".....anyway we never really found the actual bar but we DID drink a lot of cider! I am so glad I remembered my camera, as you can see from the photos below... you don't walk through villages like this every day!  

Asturian Casa/ Asturian Horreo

On one of my many hikes through Asturias over the years I came across this little gem of a home. How handy to have your barn sitting right on top of your house. I cant say I have seen this before or since!

I remember the day I saw this I wanted so badly to meet the family that lived there. Maybe this year I will summon the courage to knock and introduce myself.....

Something tells me that a large /overweight sweaty Americana grinning like an idiot will not impress this family! I will let you know.

The Real Deal

I have a hard time walking by post cards and not stopping to browse. It drives my husband crazy, as he is one of those men that's always in a hurry! I liked this particular card for several reasons. 1. The men are enjoying cider, 2. the men are wearing madreñes. 3. The horreos are authentic. 4. This is real life in Asturias. Puxa Asturias!
