You would think a picnic table with this kind of view would be used a lot but you would be wrong.

This was the bar at a hotel above the beach we visited today. Yet another amazing beach around Llanes, with three little islands.

Someone saw us taking the selfie and offered to take one of us. I like the selfie better.

I suppose this is a standard thing to do in harbors like this but I had not seen it before. The boats are moored to docks that float up and down with the tide.

Javier is our airbnb host.

He’s the nicest man. A real sweetheart. He met us the first day and showed us around and gave us instructions for things, not too much, not too little.

Shortly after he left after showing us around, we noticed the door mat:

I messaged Javier and told him we got a kick out of Route 66 on his doormat (didn’t think to say it that way then) and told him we lived on Route 66.

He wrote back saying that was “fantastico”. He said he is a motorcyclist and makes many trips through Europe and Africa and he wants to do Route 66 on his motorcycle.

In case you have any preconceived ideas about motorcycle riders, Javier also owns and runs a beautiful home goods store here in Llanes named “Mi Casa” (photos below). And this airbnb is amazing. Very pretty and comfortable.
