Vinoteca Carpe Diem - Avilés

Stopped in for a quick afternoon wine. I always appreciate places that have their wine list up on a big chalkboard on the wall. Bartender was very friendly.

I needed a late snack and found this cosy place just around the corner from my hotel Don Pedro. It was buzzing full of happy locals before the influx of international athletes hitting the town later in the week I found standing room at the bar, had a beer and checked out the scene periodically presented with an ever changing tray of complimentary tapas from the beaming host who flitted between her various work stations, kitchen behind the bar and guests at the tables and bar I stood beside 3 locals we chatted courtesy of our barman who spoke good English. All were very charming, interested in me, Australia and my upcoming race, being great advocates for Asturias. I was profoundly honoured and raced back to Don Pedro to get mini koalas for them my stamp of gratitude when travelling and experiencing exceptional warmth and hospitality. We bought each other a drink then I needed to go. Our barman said manyana , explaining I needed to return tomorrow night to receive a gift from my new friends So, after a busy day exploring the race course and relaxing I returned greeted by my friends and presented an Asturias lapel badge and a RealMadrid badge awesome! Again, wonderful hospitality and friendship by hosts and guests I managed to retire for sleep Next day after the world 's opening ceremony I bumped into my friend from the bar sharing my boxing kangaroo flag for photos Very moving experiences showing sport, travel and food are channels uniting many people

Buen menú de vino y buen servicio. Siempre tienen atención. Hacerlo también es un buen lugar.

Buenos vinos bien servidos en tazas más que decentes. muy buena punción de cortesía, salchichas de calidad y cocina experta. tratamiento inmejorable. altamente recomendado.

Bodega típica, en el centro de avilés, donde se pueden disfrutar de excelentes caldos acompañados de una variedad de cortacéspedes. buena atención y mejor servicio. No decepciones
