CAMINO STAGE 21: Oviedo Camino Primitivo Route of El Camino De Santiago Day 23, 14 days to go
Today was a five mile rest day roaming around Medieval Oviedo. Museo Bella Artes de Austuias was the first stop of the day to see master Spanish painters Veláquez, El Greco, Goya, Ribera, Picasso, Murillo, Sorolla, Dalí, and Asturian painters Abades and Arboleya. Felt thoroughly rested and relaxed after an hour inside.

Followed this up with the elegant Mercado filled with artistic displays of cheese, fish, produce and baked goods. Our modus operandi is trying the local pastries in every city. They’ve all been uniquely delicious.
Took ourselves and artisan goodies to San Francisco Park. The birds begged at our feet for stray crumbs and found several.

We are rested and ready to get back on the Camino. Some of the hardest stages are yet to come but with the sugar in our veins we know we will survive.
