La Colorada to La Caridad

We sleep in this morning, our room is so comfy it would be super easy to stay here for the next few days, but that is just a dream! We finally drag our butts out of bed and start getting ready for our day, not having a big walking day ahead of us, we can enjoy a leisurely breakfast and slowly get ourselves ready. We hit the trail just before 11am, our bodies are feeling pretty good after our time in the hydrotherapy spa yesterday, our first town is Navia and it’s only 2 Km away, we end up breaking here, Louie has an upset tummy that she needs to sort out. This is a big, bustling town, we end up here for around an hour or so, then head on. Again we are walking up and out of the town and the view is spectacular! It’s a beautiful day and we are walking in rural settings, on quite country roads. We come upon another old community washhouse from back in the 1930’s, this one is well loved and preserved. It has really started to heat up but thankfully we have made it to our destination. We find a bar eager for some lunch, we share a dish that is a local speciality - Crumbed pork with peppers and chips (it’s yummo!) We then head to our accommodation, our host is very welcoming and even gives us a bottle of red wine for our room as the bar and restaurant here are closed due to renovations. We will head back up to the same bar we ate lunch at for dinner tonight. We didn’t run into Robert from the USA on our trail today, no surprise there, we didn’t start walking till nearly lunch time! We go to bed early, resting our bodies ready for another walking day tomorrow.Read more
