Baxu Banners-Vega (Parque Natural de Redes), Case 
Again we met a lot of friends who want to walk, the day chosen was Saturday March 12, 2011 to go to the beautiful path Baxu Banners-Vega, this time we beat our record of participation as were 11 friends who got together to enjoy a day of mountain and as not a good pittance.
it is an easy path and short path well suited for those who do not have a full day. The route runs along most of its route along the valley of Ríu Corralín, a tributary of Banners, from the town of the same name to the fold of Vega Baxu
We had arranged to meet at ten o'clock every morning in the café La Plaza Field case but Mr. Paco and I, who are early risers, around half past nine we were taking a coffee shop in that cafe, little by little people coming and after breakfast at about half past ten broke for the people of Banners, the starting point our route today.
We left the car in the proper parking lot in the village and take the concrete road that descends to the river, the entire course is ideally suited, crossed the river and continue along the track that serves the last houses of the village, reaching the pass through which you access the Corralín Valley, near the huts and well cared for Gasgasa.
In sharp rise at first from Gasgasa continues the walk through beech trees. On the right you can see for a short stretch splendid views of the course of Nalón and Resource Cordal heights. The route passes well through the flocks and Texera Fallaza near the latter is boot path that is usually made the ascent and Ponga Tiatordos Picu and was completely covered by fog.
Starting the route.
The scenery all the way up to braña Vaxu is splendid.
A newborn Caballín find the path.
Something beyond the Texera, the climb becomes steeper and the group is dividing and stretching as often occurs in all increases, the trail enters the beech trees in the forests where the dog Paco, Sil, we escaped behind a deer trail. Soon the track
back flat and found a large group of cows planted in the middle of the road with caution and we leave quietly asking one another and that is not troubled by our presence. And almost
realize and quiet walk in the latter end of the road we come to the flock of Baxu Vega, large jacket where it is unusual to find herds of deer grazing although it was not our case.
This flock is truly magnificent with a group of well-kept cabins and partially covered by snow after the last winter we had, with a temperature somewhat lower than in the people we get to guard in one of them cool and as always the friend was from Rafa sausages and cured to make a little vermouth before the turn, we must also say that the good wine of the boot running on my part, for good after skewer morning we got into this beautiful flock and ask the group photo, with a bit of a hurry we have to give back to the village for fear cogiera us to the water, because the sky was getting darker, hopefully we return to the same path Banners without us falling a drop of water.

If you ever ask me some "foriatu" where I could taste real food Asturian guisandera not hesitate for a moment and send them to this authentic bar -shop where you stew that is a real beauty. Maruja
In House remains the essence of traditional Asturian cuisine, a few miles along a winding road Infiesto one can delight in such dishes for children made by the mother or grandmother, this great bar-store is one of my give me a deserved favorite meal after a great day of Mt.
After completing the beautiful mountain route we did on Saturday as it was soon headed for Bezanes to drown our thirst in the Bowling bar where if we do our must-stop once spare forces with a fresh, cold beer we take the cars and we have to climb the Collada de Arnicio, I had told anyone or where we would eat or on the road we should go, when we take the Field Case drift towards the Collada de Arnicio along a narrow road and full of curves and completely continuous ascent up the asphalt as it is under construction, ten minutes and it sounds the first call on the phone, "where the hell you put us to go to eat, as if there were places closer to a meal, "this was the friend Rafa protesting twenty minutes another call but I took it or that I did not dare, truth that the road is horrible and over without asphalt and dodging potholes and so you can imagine, but finally on the right appears as an oasis bar and shop our coveted.

After take a bum of cider on the terrace to remove sickness entered the small and cozy dining room we had booked full for us, while people sat take the opportunity to take some pictures to the wonderful and super clean and tidy bar and talk shop a bit with Molly and Nuria, a girl as nice and friendly to us wonderfully well attended at all times.
and food festival begins, we start with a stew that was pure butter and a spicy aftertaste that gave the compango something unbelievable, we continued with some calluses on a level unmatched by the other band's friend put Nuria trays of homemade hash tortos insurmountable, the time appeared trays boar and lamb meat softness in that few people will know to this point, behind insurmountable peppers stuffed with meat, I do not got much in sight to talk to other diners as drinking, eating and dreaming like this happens to you when you visit home does not happen every day.
And now, Molly's famous desserts, hazelnut cake, her famous rice pudding and tiramisu unsurpassed and unmistakable, even as she told me she had broken the mixer and cream will not set up so I promised would not the picture, now the flavor of tiramisu as always cojonudo.
To end and burst like a long time that did not stop here, about five years since we put some freshly made chocolate frisuelos almost barium we go to another because they blew all of a miracle. Well

After lunch and back and heading towards Infiesto could not pass up the opportunity to know one of the bars, shop best preserved and most authentic of Asturias, who runs the bar with the help Maribel Vegarrionda his daughter.
This is another of those bars-shop that makes you travel in time back to the time of Asturias deeper, even the wooden floor creaks when you walk into the mausoleum of the bars-store. Maribel
I ask if you let me take some pictures and very kindly said to go behind the bar and shoot the pictures you want there is no problem, all friendly and nice Maribel, after taking a nice café were charrada while about the book I mention below, which tells me that Perrin out in one of the best photos of the book is the bitch of them (see photo), so if you can not fail to visit this bar and shop which are already very few in Asturias and Maribel with great kindness you stop taking a photo without any problem.
This is the famous perrin Deissy coming out in one of the best photos in the entire book devoted to the bars-shop that gave me called "Bars-store in Asturias" and that is a real gem book, if you can take a look it's great.
