Day 55 - Pobena to Castro Urdiales

After a lovely evening in Pobena we were up and ready to continue walking around the coast. We were sad to leave our lovely room 🥰
The route started with a steep climb up a long set of stairs! But then evened out to a great walk around the coast with beautiful vistas and a lovely breeze.
We could see half way around the equivalent of Waterhouses cement factory and at this point we were sadly taken off the path and put onto quite busy roads for the majority of the walk. This went on underpasses and over motorways and at times was quite unnerving.
We passed through 2 very long tunnels that had been cut through the rocky headlands the walk into today’s town Castro Urdiales was nearly as long as the walk itself.
It is a lovely buzzy town with a nice feel and a lovely harbour.
We stopped for a coffee and Simon suddenly went off and came back with huge chunks of chocolate cake 🍰
We did have use of the kitchen today so alleviated the ongoing problem of when to eat by making a lovely soup. Our host was quite amused and guessed that Simon was a chef as we had barely got our rucksacks off and were chopping away at the veg.
She is a nice jolly person who has made us very welcome.
We had a wander around the town for a quick aperitif before heading back for a soup out.
We are ready to sleep now ready for the next walk tomorrow
We surpassed 800 km today 🙌👣👣👣
P.S. who’s watching the Euros? 😂Read more
