Anyway, before Christmas, Nathan and I took a drive to Aviles. It doesn't look very welcoming on first glances. It's kinda industrial and a bit scruffy looking. There were once many factories and a steel mill present but most of these sadly serve as ghosts from a more fruitful time. Once you are in the centre it's filled with lovely architecture and has a very arty feel. There is a good mix of old buildings and churches standing alongside modern sculptures and art.
We only had a quick mooch around the town centre and stopped for a coffee but I managed to take a few snaps.
There is also a French style garden in Ferrera Park and the Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre. We will save them for our next visit and update you then.
