What have I spied these past few days? An assortment of curious and beautiful things...
In Gijon I found Picasso lurking in a grubby doorway. Fix up Pablo!

In Gijon I saw this hombre having a musical moment whilst caminando. I like that this picture captures kerstin and the bloke in the car staring at him too. 
Nuestro desayuno el sabado pasado. Churros and chocolate in VALOR. Valor is a chain of churrerias and has an air of English tearoom about it. I like.
People that dress and look like their pet dogs should win prizes. 
We stumbled across a German beer festival in an abandoned bull ring. The air rang with 80´s music and smelt like barbequeing meat. Surrounding the main tent were hundreds of daisies climbing the steps up to the stalls. 
Here is where the bullfighters would have hidden. Even in the sun, surrounded by Spanish lads and ladettes, this place was a little bit spooky.
Everybody loves a meal of the day. This one began with a magical Fabada Asturiana.
And was followed by Buey and chips. Mmmm buey.
The pudding was a fracaso on many, many levels. I have no idea what it was. A cottage cheese monstrosity laced with red flavoured nuclear waste. To overcome the shock I ate a twix.
On the epic journey to our hotel I spied this kitsch dog parking zone.
Finally, my favourite image of the week. A group of us from the centro de idiomas pulling somes shapes in a huge inflatable plastic tube. This tube formed part of an interactive art exhibition in MUSAC, the contemporary art museum of Leon. It is a stunning building which won a prize for being the best piece of European architecture in 2007. Viva Leon!!
On a personal note. Next time you and your crew should be snapped together in a group shot please bust a move. Pictures at school, parties, weddings, cheeky shots in front of touristical things are all greatly improved by action and madness. Te lo prometo.
