We learned the word obras early on during this part of the trip because we saw it so much, and it means "improvements" or "repairs". So when something is cerrado por obras that means it's closed for repairs, and it seemed like an awful lot in Asturias had obras going on.

One such example is this cave filled to the rafters (I know, caves don't have rafters) with aging queso de Cabrales, the famous cheese everyone loved so much yet we couldn't seem to find a slice to save our lives. This place gives tours of the cave and concludes with a tasting. When they're not cerrado por obras of course, but we talked a nice woman (who must smell like blue cheese all the time--I hope her husband likes it) into letting us snap a photo.
