Las Regueras

What I love most about travel, is discovering cute little villages everywhere around. This one is called San Roman, a really small and cosy village. What I noticed immediately was the sound. It's full of nature. I lived in Belgium and the only thing I hear at night are the cars rushing by and the noises of people, building new houses everywhere. Here in Spain, at night the only thing you can hear is the jingling of the bells of the cows and the crickets singing their songs. How I love this. PS. The dog is called Cookie. He's my sweetheart. PPS. The 'house' is called an Horreo. It's a typical house, built to dry grains. You can only find this in Asturias, the northern (and in my opinion the most beautiful) part of Spain.
