San Vicente de la Barquera to Unquera, Thursday, May 3

Post by Wynette: We walked 9.4 miles today. We thought we’d stop about 2 miles sooner but the two places to stay at that point were not open. We didn’t mind. We were feeling good after our day off yesterday so we kept on trucking. It was a beautiful walk even though it was all inland once we left San Vicente. Crazy weather. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise. Didn’t expect that since forecast was for cloudy (but no rain) all day. Then, shortly after we started walking it started raining. It rained for 2 or 3 hours. It wasn’t a downpour, but the hardest rain we’ve walked in. After a bit of that, you are glad to find a bar to warm up and dry out in. (Continue reading after photo.)

Finally the sun came out again. Here we are crossing under the big autopista (super highway).
