Gijon, a large
university city (15 minute drive), has a wonderful
marina and sea front to explore, with many hidden charms and
large recreation park. Other attractions

buildings of age, and botanic gardens. This
is also an ideal location for those wishing to seek some retail
therapy, as is Oviedo the capital of Asturias (25

On days when you
wish to laze around, the garden
at River Cottage is an ideal place. Either to picnic
or BBQ or simply to enjoy a glass of locally
produced Sidra (similar to Cornish Scrumpy).
Your children can attempt to catch one of the many dragonfly´s
and butterfly´s which dart around the stream, or simply
feed the ducks and geese which are resident here and then
have a ride on our pony or donkey which live nearby. If you
watch quietly you may see one of the many red squirrels or
kingfishers and eagles soaring above. |
