Central Lechera Asturiana is committed

 Today is not a day for Google reviews.  Not a cafe, pet groomerie motorway bridge is available to be judged and found waiting.  Google came up here in October 2008.  They have not been back. Generally, I think they may have got it right. This is a walk for October.  Mists gently snuggling up to the meadows, cows doing whatever cows do when no one is watching, that sort of thing.



I suppose we better talk about something else.  Let's talk milk. Central Lechera Asturiana is the favourite brand of milk in 13 of 17 of Spain’s Communities- the Basques, Catalans and Andalucians standing aloof.    According to their own website ‘All Central Lechera Asturiana milk varieties are 100% natural and the label on each product clearly shows all the ingredients it contains. Central Lechera Asturiana is committed to using only natural ingredients, without adding any other artificial additive that may alter the quality and taste of Central Lechera Asturiana’s products, because all-natural tastes much better.’ https://www.centrallecheraasturiana.es/en/products/milk/  Should this be enough to entice you, the Your Spain shop will sell you a litre of milk for 2.48 euros.  https://www.yourspanishshop.es/en/buy-milk/buy-whole-milk-asturiana/p-1133 










It appears not all is well in the land of milk. Asturian cows produced during 2022/2023 campaign, which began in April of last year and ended in March, 529,695 tons of milk adjusted for fat content, which represents a decrease of 5.8%. These deliveries represented the 7.26% of the national total, slightly below 7.51% last year, according to information from the Spanish Agrarian Guarantee Fund published this Monday by the Asturian Society for Economic and Industrial Studies (Sadei). In addition, the delivery of Organically produced milk fell by 19% in the year as a whole, up to 6,676 tons, with which the weight of the national total fell from 16.62 to 14.38%. This is the second consecutive year in which The delivery of milk by Asturian farmers decreases, after in the previous one (2021/2022) it fell by 0.9%.









There is a diary museum south of Oviedo.  We won’t be going.  https://en.asturias.com/dairy-museum/

Much a do about something

  In North Lincolnshire there is an OS square which is all but empty,  In a single corner stretches a few metres of power cables to spoil the virgin whiteness.  Today’s walk is not so blessed with flat calm.  We will see trees.  We will see ups.  Views are compulsory.  Houses aren’t.  Let's talk about Asturias in the years from 718 to 757. In 711 the full force of the Islamic tide swept from North Africa into Visigothic Spain. At the Battle of Guadalete King Roderic and much of the nobility were killed and the Iberian Peninsula collapsed before the all conquering crescent.  The thing is, Asturias is a long way from the main body of Spain. It is a bit wet and more to the point lacking the plunder which was the way of paying the Army of the Conquest.  The Caliphate’s hold on Asturias was tenuous to say the least.  Enter  Pelagius. Pelagius has many myths swirling around him and a very butch Victorian statue in Gijon.  Accord...

  We are rising again. We are rising 20 of your earth metres today. We will be 818m above the level sea. We are about at the highest point in the Cheviot Hills. We cross the Rio Porma and into Villarente and Puente Villarente. Both these twin settlements, lurking along the roadside, have generally grown in size since 2000.   https://www.turismocastillayleon.com/en/art-culture-heritage/great-routes/way-saint-james/puente-villarente First we must cross the Roman Bridge. Coyotuco is back with a five star review: A beautiful BRIDGE with a lot of history but it is not PEDESTRIAN. For pedestrians they have made a PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY right next to it. We are passing by the Artesanias Luyma so let us gaze at their ceramic goodness. Let us wonder  https://www.artesaniasluyma.com/categorias/pereruela/ While we are here and we are passing the Tanatorio Camino de Santiago let us visit this 39 reviewed funeral home. It gets an average of 4.9 stars.  https://www.antamontalvo.es/esq...

Mini Pieces of Supposed tuna

  Pina de Ebro has something for everyone who enjoys the architecture of Spanish pueblos.  It has the tiny lanes, on which houses have been rebuilt for generations without a care for the needs of the modern motorist.  We have the pathways which have been tiled over but once were dirt tracks.  We have the modern suburban developments of low rise houses and 80s hopefully aspiring shacks.  First all, however, we have a park. One thing we noticed, especially with a small boy in tow, was the number of parks with interesting play equipment.  This is because, in Spain, people seem to like children.  This does make them a semi-public property and people feel free to indulge them with sweetmeats and pass comments. ‘I think sucking thumbs makes children look ugly’ said one elderly woman.’ My Spanish for ‘well desiccated prune face, no one asked you’ deserted me.  The play equipment is in the Plaza Pilarin Artigas.  Honestly I’ve looked and was giving u...
