This park is right in the middle of the city, with plenty of fountains, statues and various birds. I took a quick stroll pass the park, the rain was starting to get heavier by the minute. Though it is already winter, there are still many trees which gives the impression of autumn.
It was really nice, when the wind blows, it seemed to be raining golden leaves. Though it was drizzling, I found out that people here don't really bother about it, most would not even carry an umbrella. As for me, the chill of rain falling on my neck is not something I can bear. Umbrella is still a necessity for me.
There are some swans, ducks, pigeons and surprisingly, peacocks! But the swan was the only one not shy to allow me to get closer. The other birds took shelter due to the wet weather.
I went to the park again the next day. This time the weather and the crowd were much better. Caught a glimpse of the peacock and also various other people enjoying their Sunday afternoon. Some brought their dogs, others were playing with their kids in the playground.
The group of people in the park are mostly seniors and parents, with really young kids. I guess teenagers have other more important places to be at this time, rejuvenating from previous escapades I guess.
I was fortunate to get a glimpse of how autumn would look like in Oviedo, with golden leaves covering every inch of the greens. I will have to wait for the full strength of the winter cold to see what kind of effect it will have on this landscape.
