• Day 64 - Ribedesella to Colunga

    Jun 24–25, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    So our beautiful bedroom provided little rest as across the estuary fiestas had set up for the bank holiday. They had a huge bonfire and just as we had dozed off the fireworks exploded- we reckon about 11 ish - then 7 hours of techno music til 6 in the morning 😭
    So we arose feeling jaded and headed down for a lovely breakfast to perk us up.
    After breakfast, we got lunch purchases from the bakery, and we were on the road again. The weather was overcast and quite soupy !
    We did beach promenades initially the up hills into woodland and through fields. These had sticky current bun flies dabbing at your head and some horrible thugs that chewed at your calves if you stopped for so much as a moment.
    We went through some cute little villages and stopped on a cliff top for lunch.
    Then we hit lovely secluded, wide beaches and bays with the big old Atlantic rolling in, cliff top meadows full of gold and purple wild flowers, finally a bit of a road scene as we avoided a very boggy, muddy path to our accommodation.
    Our accommodation for this evening is stunning 🤩 a real family affair where they are all so proud of their setting.
    We have been made to feel so welcome, well fed and really hoping for a jolly good sleep tonight. Beautifully decorated, stunning panoramas, the sun came out and marvellous swishy winds.
    Fantastic gardens with huge pom-poms of hydrangeas and Dalia’s.
