Holiday in Asturias

The Village of Porrua

A few kilometers from Llanes on the North East coast of Asturias. The blue house, El Corral, is where we stayed. The village view is from a window at the back of the house

Music from the Market

Using my little 1G MP3 player's recording facility, I was able to capture a few items live and convert them to MP3 - very poor fidelity and lots of crowd noise, but it gives a flavour of the atmosphere and energy.  I don't know what any of the tunes are called, unfortunately.
