I'm sure most people will be wondering. As a northern Spaniard living abroad I get tired of people's comments when you tell them where you come from.... "oh, how can you cope with the cold weather?" "can you teach me flamenco?", where did you leave your castagnettes?" etc. It can even get a bit annoying but you learn to live with it. At least, that is, until you think, enough is enough and you decide to make sure that people know that Spain is not just sun, beaches, flamenco dancers and guitar players eating paella. Spain is a lot more than that. Spain is a big country, rich in culture, language and people. You could write a book on every little village you come across, even ghost ones.
I want to use this blog to tell the story of Northern Spain, of its weather beaten people, of the treasures hidden and exposed, of its delicious food, of its picturesque but also modern and interesting places.
I hope I make you fall in love with all of it! So make sure you come back for more. Soon you will be hooked and booking your tickets to fly to Oviedo, La Coruña o Bilbao for the next bank holiday!
To be continued very soon....
