We rented a car for a week to explore the area. Of course, our dear landlord, Carlos, drove August and I to a neighboring town, Llanes, to get the car. I am loving my little manual transmission Peugeot! Having more experience with a manual transmission, I am the designated driver. The arrangement works well as Spencer is a superior navigator!
Our first trip out was to nearby Nava and the cider museum. Cider, or Sidra, is a huge thing here. This is a huge understatement! The cider is not as sweet or as carbonated as ciders in the US. It is traditionally poured from above the head as I mentioned in a previous post. The museum was fun, although the tour was in Spanish so Spencer couldn't really understand any of it, and the town of Nava fairly unremarkable. It was a rainy day so the town was quiet and the museum a perfect outing.

| Is it art or a giant percussion instrument? This was the most remarkable thing we saw in Nava, aside from the museum. |
