We had a lazy day. This morning we took a short walk along a small river (small even by NM standards) to a tiny town on the outskirts of Llanes. We spent the middle of the day indoors in our airbnb enjoying the rain outdoors, and thunder and lightening, the first on this trip. After
Highlights from today: We explored the other two beaches in Llanes at both low tide and high tide. And had a great lunch in between.
In a remarkable coincidence I just ran across this article (https://medium.com/globetrotters/stacks-cracks-and-arches-985cfa542b28) describing a section of the coast of Wales. The rock formations are very close to the ones I showed in yesterday’s blog post “The coast of northern Spain”. And his videos look a lot like the videos took, including the wind noise. I guess
We have walked several Caminos along the north coast of Spain and they all have been beautiful with stunning views. Yesterday we walked along a coastal path that was different from other ones we have seen. The rock making up this coast is apparently softer than usual rocks and gets worn away by the ocean
I thought I might be too tired to blog tonight but think I’ll give it a try. It always helps to pick out a few photos to get going. We caught a bus this morning to a town that is a little past where we stopped walking the camino last week. We wanted to walk
Yesterday we traveled from to the city of Oviedo (population 220,000) to the much smaller city of Llanes (population 14,000). Both population figures from 2018. It was a 1-1/2 hour bus ride. We have an airbnb here and will stay a week before we head back to the States. We spent much of today strolling
Whenever we have to pay for something we have to decide whether to use a credit card or cash. (And by credit card I mean Apple Pay using my phone.) Almost all the time we choose credit card for several reasons. (1) It is fast and easy and you don’t have to worry about change
After breakfast this morning, we headed up to the cathedral (5 minute walk) where the Camino Primitivo begins. From there we followed the camino markers to the edge of Oviedo and then beyond for a few miles. We were missing walking, wanting to get a little exercise, wanting to see the Primitivo. We thought we’d
Across the street from our airbnb we have noticed these two windows always open since we arrived on Thursday (the two windows middle row, left). Through rain or sun or cold they have been open. There has been a single coat hanging in the window most of the time so I was starting to think
We have seen faux painting like this in Spain and Italy. This is a good one.
