• Day 65 - Colunga to Villaviciosa

    Jun 25–26, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    We awoke to a sunny day in our lovely hotel and were provided with a very nice breakfast.
    Once again on the road, however the breeze from last night had vanished.
    So our walk was a drippy one. We went up and down hills, through fields and woodlands.
    We met a good number of other pilgrims on this route also feeling the heat.
    We passed through a number of apple orchards as it appears that villaviciosa is the cider centre of northern Spain. We passed factories where it is made, then wandered into town.
    We found a friendly cafe for lunch, then onto our accommodation- a lovely, traditional Spanish Casa.
    It has lots of great wooden features and lots of old pieces of wooden furniture.
    We managed a laundry scene much to Simon’s enjoyment then headed out to see the evening scene.
    We happened upon a Celtic concert with local folk players and dancers.
    Now some sleep ready for a bus day tomorrow.
