Soto de Luina,Spain

We had a lovely short 16.4km day. No major climbs but we were up and down all day. We started off with light fog. One gentlemen walking his warned us ’Cuidado’, be careful along this road. The fog cleared, we entered forested gravel or dirt roads and paths. Mostly shady, it was wonderful! This 72 degree day in the sun on asphalt was not wonderful we had climbed with that also. Where we needed to be careful was asking some of the village roads that are one car wide, no shoulder and rock walls on either side. When a car comes by you can touch it. So not my favorite part of the day.
On another note:
You would think on these ‘easier’ days we would be chatting all day. What occurs is you get into the rhythm of your own stride and then your own thoughts. You end up hanging out with yourself. I am not as boring to hang out with as I feared I would be. 🤣
The adventure for the day: there are no laundromats on the map but this town. No one speaks English and we all know how bad I am at directions. Try it in another language.
But this was simple ( all in Spanish, so a bit lost in absorption). Go to the Alburgue, then go right it’s there. Done! I went to the Alburgue took a right. Nothing! No laundromat. No shops. I wandered up another street that could’ve been the right she meant, still nothing. Long story short- it’s AT the Alburgue/hostel. It’s outside around the building. Just sitting on the slab of concrete. It didn’t have a spin cycle so our clothes even after being wrung out may never dry. 😊
Switching topics-
Ron, my husband, is watching weather for us as there is rain coming in on probably the worst day. Just as we enter Luarca,Spain, a lovely coastal village. Nuts!!
I sent him the names of the towns we are in today and tomorrow. He can’t find them. Too small? They are pretty tini.
Switching again-
Thank Heaven for splitting room costs. We are in a $90.00/night hotel so for about $48 each we have a bathroom to ourselves, towels, a little balcony and and elevator for our tired legs. Ah, the things we don’t usually appreciate!!😃Read more
