Soto de Luiña to Canero

This has been a difficult day. We are sitting at the train station right now, hoping the schedule is correct to take us the rest of our way into Canaro. Our estimated distance today was going to be pushing the limit of what I should be doing with my feet, and then we made three wrong turns. The first was in the dark this morning when we unintentionally started up the mountain route instead of the coastal route. It is no longer recommended because it is unmaintained, overgrown and without services. A man we visited with later said he did it one time and it was "terrifying". He said he met a German woman who was beginning to panic, so he just panicked along with her. 🤪

We are now in our accommodations. I told Moriah I was sorry I wimped out and she pointed out it was actually being wise. We walked 16.4 miles and it would have been over 20 had we not taken the train. We actually had to walk another 30 minutes after getting off the train. In spite of it being a difficult day with too much mileage, too many missed markers, and continual ups and downs, it was beautiful weather and lovely scenery.

I'm back to wearing my boots for various reasons.Read more
