Colorful houses
One thing we’ve noticed about Asturias (vs. Basque Country and Cantabrica) is that the houses are more colorful. I really enjoy that. Some photos:

One last beach, worth the trouble
Yesterday we noticed on a tourist map that there was a bufone at a beach only 2 miles from Llanes so we decided to walk there at high tide when the bufones are at their glory. (Charlie mentioned bufones in a previous post.) When we were nearly there, I asked a man who was walking
Javier
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
Relaxing day in Llanes
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
Some photos from today
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.
Back on the Camino
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
Walking on the Camino Primitivo
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
Will you help us figure out a mystery
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
Night excursion
Our Airbnb is in the old town and close to a lot of action. Reviews for it had some complaints about the noise at night. We took this place because it fit our needs best in other ways, fingers crossed our earplugs would be effective enough. The windows are quite modern and “soundproof”. We do
