Restrictions between Spanish regions have finally lifted so at the first chance I got I fled out of Madrid.

This time to the north, to the mountainous and green region of Asturias and the Gijón area. It's always nice to have connections...

We spend our limited time visiting family and friends, eating and drinking constantly with a couple of visits to Avilés and Tazones mixed in.

The restaurants and their foods:
Montera Picona - chorizo a la sidra, chipirones afogados, cachopón
Cafe Dindurra - free tapas and vermouth
Los Gamonales - cured meats and cheese, ñocla (crab), tuna with pisto, zamburiñas (scallops), roasted lamb, chuletón steak, desserts and chupitos
El Planeta - calamari, scallops, sardinas and anchovies
La Nansa - pixín (monkfish)

Asturias is a magnificent place, but make sure you go hungry.
