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 a bit more of the camino starting there. We chose an alternate route that goes along the ocean’s edge. (The main camino there is more inland.) Once the bus let us off, it took a bit of walking off-camino to get to that alternate camino path, but it was worth it. We didn’t have much info about this path. The single guide that suggested it as an alternate route didn’t give us much info except a map. We ended up being awed by it. Charlie said “if this were in the US, this would be a national park.” I agree. Well, at least a state park. But it’s just another amazing walk along Spain’s north Atlantic coast. We saw about 6 other hikers the whole time.
We finished our walk in Ribadesella and had an excellent menu del día there. Then we caught the little Feve train back to Llanes.
We ended up walking about 8.2 miles total with 270 feet up and 390 down.
Yes, I can access your blog. It is 2:38 p.m. Thur. 5-9-24.
Thanks, Mom. We couldn’t access the website for a while. Charlie spent some time online chatting with someone at our service provider. Before he changed anything it started working again. A mystery.
Enjoying the photos and thanks for sharing your exciting adventure.
Thanks, John. I’m really glad you are enjoying the blog. Good to hear from you here.
