Covadonga

By | Travel | No Comments

We also visited Covadonga! I am so glad to be with my parents and their friends, because they always look for churches to visit.  I love visiting churches  

On the way there I saw this nice bride with a hanging cross

Restaurante Las Redes

And finally lunch!!  Enjoying a lot of the seafood being on the Northern coast of Spain!

Dad and Mom got one of these set meals – the Especial ala Plancha which was very worth it!

The arroz dishes were very reasonable and good for two already!  We were happy because we have been wanting to have some sort of Paella

Delicacy from the area- Quesada Pasiega – Cantabrian Style Cheesecake

Santilian del Mar

Driving out of Santander on our way to our next city, Oviedo.  We stopped by Santillian on the way which is part of the Camino so you can see some pilgrims passing by.  A very nice quaint town.  I love walking through the little towns in Europe

I love looking at the delicacies of each town

with no frills 🙂  We were very cozy in our table since the place was quite small, but it was worth it!!!  That is the owner there in the photo and she was so busy helping out!
