Camillas to San Vicente de la Barquera

We sleep in this morning, it's very easy to do after the rainy night and ultra comfy beds. We go for breakfast at 9:30 am then finish packing up and check out at 10:00 am. It starts off a little overcast but very soon turns into a warm sunny day. We stayed on the fringe of Comillas last night and were too tired to go down into the town, this is our daily struggle - we are visiting all these beautiful seaside towns, steeped in history with so many interesting buildings and stories to tell, and we are always too sore to be on our feet to go and explore, we get to our accommodation, shower and just want to put our feet up to stop them throbbing. Anyway as we walk through Comillas we enjoy the beauty, vibe and historical buildings we spy. Once on the outskirts, we are on a walking path that will take us to San Vicente de la Barquera, this path winds its way along the coastline, meandering inland from time to time, the views of the Cantabrian Sea, beaches, and coastal farmlands are spectacular, although we are ascending and descending all day, we can't help but smile, it's such a good day to be walking, I feel extremely grateful and fortunate to be on the trail. We stay at a hospedria 2km out of San Vicente de la Barquera, luckily we had stocked up at the supermarket as we passed through the outskirts of San Vicente de la Barquera, the climb up to our accommodation was hot and harsh, the strong wind that had accompanied us all along the headlands was now nowhere to be found. So when they told us that there was no dinner here you have to head back into the town, we were extremely happy that we had lugged all our salad, bread, wine and water up the hill. We would feast in our room tonight. I don't think these legs can do another 4 km today, they are feeling very old and tired...Lue lisää
