Potes to Puerma

Our final day in Eastern Picos and a jaunt west over to Puerma for 2 nights and one final hoon around the Picos.

We took inspiration from Teapot One and headed towards Colunga and on to the coast for lunch. As navigator, I took lead for the route and it was amazing! I forgot how incredible it was to be in the front, no one’s lines to follow, no speed to adhere to, just you and the road. Ben and Sean joined us for this last ride, with Sean feeling a little fragile from the night before. We headed back towards Cangas de Onis along the beautiful AS114 and then ventured further west along new roads and some more built up areas. Our final route all together was up over the AS260 stopping at the Mirador del Fitu for a couple of photos before descending to the coastal stop of Lastres for a last lunch and time to head our own ways.

The final few miles were uneventful but we ended up at our beautiful Camino hostel run by Pablo, a very cheerful Spaniard with a love of life.

Good: the epic hoon to Cangas de Onis along the AS114, I really gelled with my bike and totally loved it
Bad: the heat riding around Oviedo in search of vape juice
Roads: N621, AS114, AS260Read more
