Asturias vistas, a set on Flickr.We've been really busy with work and projects for a while but still managed to take a few shots at the changing colors of Asturias. Every new year uncovers a different combination of shades of brown and orange and green in October, announcing that there will be many short days and long nights ahead. This winter we didn't have much snow, at least not in Oviedo,

Naranco "Pista Finlandesa" walk started on Uria St. where a quick glimpse of the hill behind FEVE was a call to go back home via the Finnish path. It started snowing heavily half way through the path uphill, but by then it was too late to go back.The way down vía VIllamejil was awesome: free of cars and buses, not a human in sight. Street lights spotting falling snow that soon became a

The river - - - > See the whole set of images.Originally uploaded by MarquiBeck Monday November 2nd was a holiday in Asturias, so we took off to visit Fuensanta area. The drive from Oviedo was fast, not much traffic along the way... and the weather was like a spring day with the usual showers and brief shots of sunshine.Getting there was easy and the directions proved right... we found free

Wot an electric Saxo?Originally uploaded by MarquiBeck Had I not gone to the "Feria" with a young Twitter friend, I'd probably have missed this beauty, namely an electric -or part electric- car resembling my first car in Spain, a white Citroen Saxo I had from 1999 to 2001. Just the sight if it and the hope that one day soon we might be using this in Oviedo normally, made my day.The "Feria de

The other sideOriginally uploaded by MarquiBeck It took a couple hours and a firm resolution not to go back when we were half way up Naranco hill... this time we made it to the Cristo parking area in order to easy going jog all the way down the main road to Oviedo.The trail heading up after you pass by the lodge is rather narrow, at spots it makes you wonder if it's safe to keep going.

Yet another vista by MarquiBeck View Larger Map Link to this mapIt was cloudy in Oviedo so we went elsewhere to look for the sun and found it in Lastres... that is, before it started raining. A fishing village along the cliffs of the Asturian coast line, Lastres was mentioned several times by friends as a good place to go scuba dive (not my favorite sport by the way, must be theirs).

April 4th was a holiday in Oviedo so we took off to visit the coastal area of Llanes.

Spring has arrived...(a bit late if you live in Oviedo) We can confirm this after visiting Cabranes today. A colleague mentioned the "Festival del Arróz con Leche", namely: Rice Pudding Festival in Cabranes today. I got lucky. This has been going on for 30 years now, with a jury to try circa 70 contestants' produce, a village procession with bagpipes, and ... well, see the pictures, they

snowy mountain hush Originally uploaded by MarquiBeckThe mountains are always a mystifying experience, in particular with few people around and somewhat funny skies. Pajares on January 2nd was such an experience: not far from home and still a universe away ... I finally made it there to learn that it wasn't such a tough road, nor such an expensive experience as it was in Cataluña. Over there you

Con la nueva vía de Oviedo a La Espina se llega pronto a Grado, el camino a la Espina y luego Salas está en construcción (tremendos viaductos) así que vayan con paciencia.

Playa del Silencio Originally uploaded by MarquiBeckPor suerte Google Maps indicó mal y salí de la autovía antes de Ballota (otro lugar donde me han recomendado una hostería fantástica para turismo rural y excursiones). Así pude conocer la ruta comarcal de Santa Marina hasta Ballota y dar de improviso con el cartel: Playa del Silencio 1 Km. Si bien hay que dejar el auto algo lejos y andar -a mi

¿alguien sabe a qué responde esto?Foto tomada en Oviedo en la zona del campus del Milán. Obra realizada durante enero ante la mirada atónita de los paseantes.Pregunta: ¿no sería mejor educar y promover el cuidado del medio ambiente por parte de los habitantes, que prevenir a golpe de alquitrán y cemento?

Luego de un recorrido por la costa Asturiana durante los días festivos, no puedo sino proponer que utilicemos todas las herramientas y co-creatividad (que la habemos cuando nos ponemos las pilas colaborativas) para comunicar, informar y generar conciencia eco-ambiental sobre algunos temas que impactan y nos impactan en el territorio en que nos movemos.

Buscando en Twitter vemos 39 enlaces en tres páginas, son 44 pero observamos que hay tres de un Oviedo que no está en Asturias, y dos con Oviedo como nombre. Aparece una tribu diversa... tal vez sean múltiples tribus y algunas personas con "twitter" en común. (y hay un par protegidas...vale, es una opción).Folgueras, Marquibeck y el amigo Raúl nos encontraremos hoy en el Bodegón de Teatinos...
