On Sunday, when we got back from Picos, we took a bus (yes, with civilized people who had probably not been anticipating sharing a confined space with dirty, muddy, smelly Americans) to Oviedo, which is the capital of Asturias, so we could take a bus to Salamanca.
We only spent 4 hours there, but Oviedo definitely has some of the most interesting rocks I've ever seen in a city, so I decided to share them.

Oviedo in the far north and is marked by a red star.

Pretty, Mediterranean architecture and nice shade trees.

Marble breccia

Black marble with shell fossils.

More fossils, but in red marble.

And our very good friends: ammonites!
Coming soon...Scotland and Siccar Point!
