Northern Spain-Oviedo & Vitoria-Gasteiz

After the Canary Islands, we flew back to Madrid and then hopped on a bus to Oviedo. It was fun showing Andy around. So much and so little has changed in the 10 years since I studied abroad there. We ate some traditional Austurian food, tried to pour some sidra and explored the mountain biking and hiking trails near the city. We also got to see an Austurian dance performance: 
After Oviedo, we headed to Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque country. What a cool city! It had paved bike trails all over the city (101 km total). Andy & I rented some bikes and spent the day meandering around the city. In the evenings we enjoyed some pinxos and cold red wine (yes, cold red wine is a thing here). 

Now we're in Aranda de Duero north of Madrid getting ready to fly home tomorrow. Here's the view from our balcony: 


Hasta luego Espana!
