Camino 5: Santander - Llanes

Another beautiful northern city is Santander! Had a nice evening up by the beach's at the tip...washing my bike in a public park and trying to get km's of grit out of the chain😅

Learned what Achilles tendonitis is! So got some Kinesio-tape, watched a few YouTube videos and viola, like Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder, I was an expert. Leg taped up and I decided to give it some shock therapy by exposing to 110km of Camino!

It was a beautiful day so just kept on pedalling, and the towns and scenery from Cantabria to Asturias did not disappoint!

To top it off, I got into Llanes and walked into a Sidrería, and had me some fine Asturian cider and pulpo, the real reason I'm up here. The owner Antonio was in Ireland five times, but the time I left we were practically neighbours!

Put my feet in the Atlantic today for the first time in a long time.Weiterlesen
