Despite the snow in the rest of Spain, Asturias seems to have a Cornwall-like ocean influenced climate. So here it just rains (although tomorrow the forecast is for snow down to 200m so we may get a dusting.

It rains a lot. But it’s not windy (usually).

So umbrellas are ubiquitous. That means that every shop, bar, flat and indoor space has an umbrella stand or two near the door (it’s bad form to trail a dripping brolly through somewhere).

Posh places, and those where you can’t leave your umbrella, like the hospital and the big department store El Corte Ingles, have an automatic umbrella bagging machine. You insert your umbrella in the top and it slides into a bag. Very sensible.
