Up on the Hills
The best part of Oviedo is not the city (unless you´re into shopping, because it´s still sales season ;) ) but the outskirts. The hubz and I traveled about 3 kms. away from the city to see these monuments which are up on the hill of Naranco.
The Palace of Santa María del Naranco is a pre-romanic palace constructed in the 9th century. It was the residence of one the 1st monarchs of Asturias, Ramiro I. This is the oldest palace in Europe.
It was quite a steep climb to the hill and wearing sandals didn´t help but once you reach the top, the climb and the fear of breaking the straps of my sandals was worth it. Above is a view of the city of Oviedo.
Later we climbed more to see this ancient church at the bottom constructed by the same king. Only one part of the old structure remained but it was still beautiful from the inside. That is if you love history, architecture and culture. ;)
Both the palace and the church were certified as National Monuments of Spain in 1885 and a century later both became UNESCO World Heritage Sites (1985), another reason to visit Oviedo and the whole Asturias region. ;)
So how did your weekend pass, my pretty fashionistas? ;) Yesterday was the feast of St. James. In here it was a garlic fiesta and the start of a series of festivities because next week is the city fiesta but in Santiago de Compostela ( in Galicia) it´s huge! Now that´s another story. ;)
Have an exciting week, everyone! :)

You've been to many parts of Spain already
and thanks for the e-tour. I really wish to visit Spain when Freddy's big enough to understand and appreciate things.
Ate, ang ganda ng outfit mo ang the setting is perfect for photo shoot talaga.
You're so lucky you still fit kid's sizes. It's cheaper to shop that way! I used to do that too way back when when I was still a size 0, I'd fit a 14 in girl's sizes, hehe =)

I love your outfit!
YOU. ARE. FABULOUS!
Best wishes from one blogger to another,
