Camino Norte, Day 25 => Muros de Nalón

13 miles with 1850’ ascent / 1350’ descent. When you look at a map of the route somewhat near the sea, you would think it was flat. But the land between the Cantabrian mountains and the sea is very hilly with very steep up and downs.

We found a lunch restaurant at mile 10 for Asturias stew or “mountain stew” (stew with potato, white beans, spinach, different types of sausages, and pork shoulder). Diane loves stew (though it has been on the menu for 10 days now)

Beautiful day for a hike with a chilly 48F morning, 68F mid-afternoon with full sun. Hurricane Gabrielle was going to be a direct hit on the Camino Sunday after hitting the Azores, but luckily it’s turning far to the south. So no more torrential rain for a while.Read more
