Just enjoying the wide open spaces on a bike
asturnut Says: Just enjoying the wide open spaces without traffic (except cows) for a bike ride was one of my favorite things to do. Most of the roads are rarely travelled by cars so it is quite safe and friendly for bicyclists.

La Priallona: Delicious fabada
asturnut Says: My first meal ever in Spain was eaten at La Praillona in Boñar. We stopped there on the way from the airport in Madrid to Asturias. It was my first taste of culture shock. The food there is served family-style, so you have to agree upon something everyone will eat! I was...
For a small town, Boñar has a great nightlife
asturnut Says: : For a small town, Boñar actually has a pretty good nightlife. I remember there were 4 places that were restaurants by day, but wild clubs at night with kids dancing, drinking and having a good time. Our favorite one to hang out at was at the top of (the only) hill just as...

Nicanores de Boñar: Nicanores, puff pastry delights!
asturnut Says: Nicanores de Boñar are a wonderful puff pastry delight that are made only in Boñar (and in a 2nd store in Madrid.) People drive many miles out of their way to get these delighful, flaky, tasty treats. If you have the occasion, be sure to try them. You will be hooked!
asturnut Says: There is a wonderful shop in Bonar that sells wonderful handmade glazed ceramic items such as tiles, address numbers for houses, flower pots and decorative bowls and plates. I lugged home about 50 pounds worth of the stuff in my luggage. I can't recall the name of the place,...
asturnut Says: There are no problems in Boñar- no crime at all. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to come. There is a small police station in Bonar, but I can't imagine what they do all day because it's so peaceful.
asturnut Says: This is kind of a joke, but kind of serious. Be mindful of the cattle when you are in rural Spain. I was riding my bike in the country surrounding Bonar and got stuck in a herd of cattle passing by. The sheppard got very upset and starting yelling at me to move. I could have...

Refreshment for the weary traveler
asturnut Says: As is common in many rural (and even some urban locations) there is a public spring located in town. Locals frequent the spot to get their fill of naturally pure spring water, for free. Such fountains were quite common in the villages I frequented. The fountain shown here,...
asturnut Says: Favorite Thing: During the day, our favorite place to hang out in Boñar was the municipal park, camping and pool area called El Soto. It's where everyone goes during the day. There is a outdoor kiosk where you can get snacks, beer, and ice-cream; a soccer field; pool, etc....
