Walking Tour of Oviedo 4/14/08

We had a wonderful final day in Oviedo today. We went on a walking tour of the city this morning, went on a hike to see some very old buildings on a hill with an amazing view, and then the kids were able to have some free time walking around the city to shop and have lunch. Then it was off to La Fresneda for our second tour concert. The concert was wonderful, the kids played with such energy tonight! We all went out for a celebration dinner with our hosts, and ate some really good food. Tomorrow morning we leave for Madrid, with a stop in Segovia for more sight-seeing.
