Camino Primitivo 25

Back again for another camino. Allegedly the original route, hence the name. From Villaviciosa in Asturias on the north coast, across the mountains and down to Santiago.
Today was spent relaxing in Avilés where we spent the night, getting a bus to Gijon, exploring a bit and then another bus to Villaviciosa from where we start walking tommorow very early. It's a 30km day nearly, very hilly, so we are going to get started at dawn. Any walking before about 11 is never as tiring as after that for some reason. And walking before 8 doesn't feel like effort, as I should be in bed or just getting up.
Gijon is a lovely city. Lots of 1930s architecture as shown in the photos. It has lovely golden beaches and a port. There's a pretty old town with nice beer and kikos in a warm square full of bar tables. Sunny with a cold edge, so perfect walking weather. Rain forecast thoughLue lisää
