There are a number of interesting old buildings and palacios, which need more time to see. One museum had a model of the Picos de Europa outside which we photograped as part of it showed the way from Cangas de Onis to Covadonga.
Sunday was market day with stalls in the covered market and the square around the church. We walked around the market and went for a drink before returning to the parish church of 'Santa María' for the service, at mid-day. The church is only open for services so we also took the opportunity to look around. The notice sheet gave the service next week (Pentecost) as (First Communion) and, as Cangas is an interesting place, we are thinking of returning to stay over next week-end too.
After the service we returned to the Puente Romana to have lunch at the restaurant 'Puente Romana' where we sat in the garden by the river. One of the fishermen caught a good sized salmon which he was showing to his friends. Walking back to the hotel we passed through the now empty market place and then walked along the river again. Some-one was not going to be pleased to find that his horses had escaped and were walking happily down stream.
