We took the FEVE narrow-rail train to Oviedo, the capital of the Asturian province and home to the world’s only Woody Allen statue (along with 189 others!) The day began in the Asturian Parliament, moved to a guided tour (Thanks, Rene) of old Oviedo and concluded with a trip to a space-age shopping mall. The weather cooperated, the students walked, wandered and learned, and the day went well.
