Islares to Laredo

Today's walk was lovely, except the very big hill in the middle! We started with 7km along the road as the sun rose. Then the yellow,arrows became confusing - 3 different routes on offer. We stuck with the app but clearly others didn't as it was very steep, stoney and overgrown with prickly things. The walk down the other side looked like Austria, green, mountains and twee villages. It then turned into another coast path with a group of twitches from England getting excited about very small birds while griffon vultures circled overhead. Much more exciting! We are now at a cafe in Lorredo waiting to check in the covent which opens at 2. First time in a proper albergue for this trip if we get a room. Then a,swim which will hopefully be as nice as yesterday's sea poolRead more
