( I think the street is named Ezcurdia at that point, or it may have already chnged to Avenida Rufo Garcia Rendueles, not sure). Sara (the illustrator of my kidzbooks) had a seafood tajin, something she'd never found anywhere else; I forget what veggie thing I ate, but it was quite good. Also, there's some really good local cheeses and breads at the little greenmarket in the Plaza Mayor... (If you look at the map of Gijon, it's just where the "neck" of the penninsula would be.) The people at the Barjola Museum (Trinidad number 17) were really nice. They also publish these lovely catalogues of their exhibits and they let us each take a handful of them, for free. I liked the space, although some of the art was not to my taste--up on the top floor of the gallery was some stuff I liked better. And the temporary exhibition is hit-or-miss. But worth a visit.
