I found a link to that book. It's a great read for an insight into this area.

As to the balck guy- when we were there all the student/tourist visas had to go to the right side windows, and all the K-3/K-1/DCF went to the left.... you'll see.... you'll probably have a sweet young brown haired girl (spanish) to process the papers, and a older mixed race (Dominican?) woman for the interview. Both of them were mas majas que las pesetas....super simpaticas!!!

Yes, Oviedo is nice. It doesn't really have a lot of tourist things to see.
But it's a cool place to hang out. One of the reasons I like it is because
it has a lot of pedestrian areas. The old part around the cathedral is
particularly nice. Definitely drink some cider while you are there.
Cudillero is a cool town to stop in for a couple of hours as you're going
along the coast toward Galicia. And of course you have to see Santiago.
I'd pass on A Coruña though.

always remember it.

Re: Madrid K-1 interview experience
The officer who interviewed my fiance was an American guy. He spoke Spanish
pretty well, just not great. I imagine there are several officers working
there. There were at least a dozen windows. I didn't really look very
carefully at the people behind the windows. But I did see at least one
other guy in a uniform back there.
