Saturday, 2008 April 19th. Nestor, Juan, his girlfriend and me arrived in Mieres, a city located in a small valley in the center of Asturias, along the banks of the Rio Caudal(Caudal River). It is the heart of the coal mining industry.
Our aim was a festival called "Folixa na primavera" (Folixa=party, primavera=spring). Basically, celtic music, traditions and cider.
Dani (you will know him in a few weeks, in a post about Vilnius) showed us the best place to eat a hamburguer in Mieres. Later we went to the concert of Dervish (I was the only one who can speak Gaelic ;-)).
After that, a sculpture of two Asturian guys holding a bottle of Cider was burning and a lot of young people danced traditional Asturian dances.
Thanks to Dani to show us the city (next time, we will do it properly), Juan (driver and always surprising me) and Nestor (for your photos. Next time, bring more clothes). See you soon!

Btw... is good to know the "all you can drink" by 3€ stuff. :)
Hector, Nestor is so shy to answer you ... or maybe he is so Swedish now :-)
The 3€ issue is not good, is great!!
