Day 62 - Puertas de Vidiago to Llanes

We woke to a grey day and obvious signs it had rained a lot in the night. In fact it was still mizzling 🌧️
We had a lovely breakfast in our cute hotel and decided to hang about a bit to see if the rain would stop. We only had a short walk planned so to start a little later would be ok!
About 10 it brightened and the rain did stop so we loaded up and set off.
We were on the road with high mountains to our left - these were in and out of the cloud.
Trevor the satnav attempted to send us over damp fields towards the coast but Simon was having non of it and we stuck to the road.
We passed through a couple of villages but plodded onto our destination- the harbour town of Llanes.
We arrived and got our credentials stamped then Simon got excited as he spotted roast chicken on the spit - however we ventured on and found a restaurant for lunch offering Asturian bean stew - which Simon decided to go for and it has gummed him up!!
We then found our pension for the evening, settled in and found the local launderette 🙌
Once washing was done we explored the town further, walking around the harbour and seeing the local fishing boats.
There is an amazing piece of art called ‘the Cubes of Memory’ situated all around the port area by the Basque artist Augustin Ibarrola that is quite a sight to behold.
Llanes is a busy, bustling little harbour town. We are trying to work out if it is the Spanish holidays as everywhere we go it seems to be rammed day and night with people eating and drinking!
Tomorrow we are hopping along to Ribadesella on the train - so a bit of a rest day.Read more
