We were fortunate to be able to take the train up to the northern coastline of Spain with only one change of trains in Madrid. It was painless and quick and before we knew we were in Santander. From Santander we went to Oviedo where the Primitivo officially begins. Riding on the train through the Galician countryside is like music to my soul. It is green, cool, and full of a quaintness reminiscent of days gone by. While the Costa del Sol has its own beauty with the beautiful white sands and blue seas this countryside evokes a beauty within my heart that I can not explain with mere words. It is like sitting by a warm fire on a cold and rainy afternoon with a bowl of soup, warm bread and cool wine and a soft blanket while reading your favorite book. I could go on but you get the sense that these trains rides are truly enjoyable to us and we enjoy them immensely.
Once we got our credencial stamped at the cathedral we walked through the town like tourists. This area is know for its fermented apple cider and fish. The cider is a digestive and the best part is watching your waiter pour it for you. He holds the bottle over his head and with out looking fills your glass. It was so much fun being a part of this nightlife.
We are excited about our journey and will let you know where we are when we can. You are loved...
Buen Camino
