carbayones

A few decades after my previous visit, last week I decided to drive all the way to Oviedo, Asturies. We had a lunch scheduled in Arriondas, but we made a first stop fifty minutes before reaching our destination in order to satisfy some elegantly sweet requirements.

One hundred years operating a shop suggests that someone must be doing something right. In this case it was obvious.

Camilo de Blas is a pretty unique space where pastries are made like in the very old days. They are tasty and sweet, but with enough moderation to make them almost the perfect pastry.

Once the selection has been made and the tray has been filled up, a perfectly wrapped package is handled over the counter holding the carefully assembled construction.
