Proper Tourists in Picos d'Europa

OK so today is Saturday and we have hired a car to go to the Picos, after a couple of navigational errors we visit Cangas De Onis and did tourist stuff then on to Covadonga where we had to leave the car and take a bus up to the Lakes for a short walk. On our way to Covadonga we visited an old monastery, now a hotel. The Bridge in Cangas is medieval but known as the Roman Bridge. The views up the mountain were stunning the drive up and down to the Lakes was a bit scary as road not wide in places and as 12km long we were passing other buses up and down. Our short walk took 95mins thankfully we werent on our own for very long around the back of the peak as we had no map and no real idea of where we were going. But lots of photos that I will post separately. The drive back was uneventful and as I managed to program the satnav in Spanish we did well not to get lost! Today John did an oil change and I cleaned the carpets before a lovely Menu del dia and a walk along bay, there are a lot of random sculptures in Gijon, it is now raining heavily with lightening, tomorrow we headed to Cordillero.Read more
