Gijon, Playa de Silencio
October 7th, 2009
We live next to a park that has a lot of fun playground equipment and an aviary with emus and other birds.
Playa de Silencio is a great beach near here. Kind of hard to get to, so it isn’t crowded, especially during off-season. We had the place mostly to ourselves. The tidal pools were really fun. Theron was thrilled to find his favorite sea creature, an octopus waiting for the tide to come in. He even touched it, and it grabbed him with its tentacle.
Lots of little villages here, and gigantic hydrangea bushes everywhere (Mom would like that!).

Picos de Europa
October 7th, 2009
We drove to the nearby mountain range. Passed Covadonga, where the Christians successfully fought off the Moors in the 8th century.
The Asturian landscape and the Picos are gorgeous. The traditional farms have these plantation-like raised structures for drying crops (see the blue house picture, which sports the Asturian cross).
On the way back we happened upon a little 12th C. church, S. Juan de Amandi.
