I think if I was used to living in a world-class city I might find it disconcerting to live in a monochrome town with hardly any other human beings.... or is that just your style as a photographer? looking at thaose photos, I noticed 2 things:

I shall be hiring a car from Asturias airport early June so will now, on your recommendation, call into Gijon. Then onto the Picos and walking part of, thanks to your blog last year, the Cares Gorge. A spot of culture will see us doing the Ruta de Indianos in Ribadeva. Loved the photos. Jill Hola Ben y Marina,
