Oviedo was the plan. Rob and Lis arrived in Asturias sure it would be home, then spent weeks in Airbnbs waiting for their visa, in a rental market where most flats were only for students – and Rob found it all far more stressful than Lis did. So how did they end up in Gijón? A day at San Lorenzo beach, a shocking moment at a Semana Santa procession, and a visa approved without anyone ever saying yes.
