      Von Pria nach Duesos

      12 października 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Nach der Nacht in der Herberge von Pria erklärte mir die US-Amerikanerin Christl, dass sie wegen Magenproblemen heute nicht weiter laufen könnte. Schade, hätte gerne mit ihr die Küstentour gemacht. Habe ihr ein paar Immodium-Akut da gelassen und ihr gute Besserung gewünscht. Der erste Teil der Wanderung war auch weil es noch dunkel war, wenig spektakulär. Sieht man mal davon ab das an einer Eisenbahnstrecke der Spruch "The Light of the End of the Tunnel will just be an other Train" stand. Gerade ich, der immer ein Licht am Ende des Tunnel wollte, sehe gerne ein das es eben auch das komplette Gegenteil sein kann.
      Danach gings dann an den bunten Steinen vorbei und an einem Garten mit hunderten Ortsschildern. Am späten Vormittag gab's dann in Ribasdaella zwei Schnitzelsemmel und nen "Cola Cao" zum Frühstück, bevor ich in einer Metzgerei für das evtl Abendessen eine Wurst und Brot kaufte. Ab jetzt waren es ja nur noch 16 km. Kurz vor dem Ziel kam ich dann noch an einen Hunde / FKK Strand wo ich mich auch mal wieder in die Fluten warf. Die letzten paar Kilometer zur äußerst schönen Herberge in Duesos waren dann auch gleich geschafft und ich genoss nach einem ausgiebigem Sonnenbad im Garten und Hundesteeicheln das Abendessen mit Adam einem Polen und einer Mutter / Tochtergespann aus Australien. Mit dabei noch drei ältere Franzosen/-innen und eine Spanier, sowie eine Holländerin. Das Essen, eine Art Linseneintopf, mit Salat und Joghurt schmeckte sehr gut, wie der ausgegebene Wein auch. Morgen gibt's noch Frühstück und das alles für 20 Euro - da kannst nicht meckern.

      Campingplatz für die nächsten 2 Nächte

      25 lipca 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Der Campingplatz ist mal wieder sehr nah am Strand.😁

      Etwas weiter, ca. 600 Meter kann man sich Dinosaurier Fußabdrücke anschauen, das haben wir schon Mal erledigt ☺️.

      Morgen werden wir wahrscheinlich die Räder wieder auspacken und die umliegende Gegend erkunden. Czytaj więcej

      Lastres ⚓🏘️⛵

      8 kwietnia 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Como ayer nos fuimos a dormir tempano, hoy madrugamos, desayunamos algo rápido y ponemos rumbo a... la gasolinera para echar gasolina y lavar el coche de las cagadas (literal) de pájaros 💦🚙🔫

      Primera parada, el pueblo asturiano favorito de Violeta: Lastres 🤩

      Perteneciente al concejo de Colunga y situado en la zona oriental del Principado de Asturias, se trata de un pueblo marinero que fue distinguido como Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias en 2010.

      Si las vistas desde el Mirador de San Roque son bonitas, también lo son desde el Faro del Puerto, cerca del cual nos sentamos a almorzar (antes de que lleguen los demás turistas) 🧀🍻

      Confirmamos que la sidra no nos da fuerzas cuando tenemos que volver por el camino que a la ida era cuesta abajo pero ahora es cuesta arriba. Eso sí, las vistas son espectaculares y el pueblo es de los más pintorescos que he visitado 🏡

      Potes - Colunga

      19 września 2020, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Matinée sous une légère pluie. Idéal pour grimper la montagne, moins pour les photos.😅📸
      Au bout de 30 km de montée de Potes à Fuente Dé. ⛰️🔝 Me voilà au funiculaire !

      Rendez-vous tout en haut pour toucher les nuages, et avoir une vue à 360° sur tout le Parc national des Picos de Europa. 😍

      Entre le vent, le froid et la pluie les conditions étaient extrêmement là-haut. 😄
      Mais il en faut plus pour me stopper, surtout que la descente de l'innnnnfiiiiniiiii du sommet de la montagne jusqu'au niveau de la mer, était incroyable ! 💯

      Après les descentes qu'y a-t-il ? Et oui des montées. 😂🚵‍♂️ + de 3200 mètres de dénivelé positif aujourd'hui 🤯 et ça s'en prendre en compte le funiculaire.

      Deux trois Cols de franchis, en mettant la misère à deux trois vélos de route 😝 et de retour sur le bord de côte. 🏖️

      Pas de WarmShowers ce soir. Le vélo comme le bonhomme on besoin de passer à la machine donc camping ! 🏕️

      Ribadesella to Colunga

      23 sierpnia 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      We wake this morning feeling surprisingly good, we thought our feet and legs would be killing us, but thankfully they don’t feel too bad. Our day starts in the picturesque town of Ribadesella, we were so tired and sore when we arrived yesterday that we were unable to check out the offerings of this town, (this seems to be the theme song to our Camino life!!) our path runs through the belly of the town, which takes up residence on both sides of the Rio Sella, a long bridge connects them and the shop front windows look out to the peaceful views of the river system, this is a really pretty little town. It’s a beautiful day, there is a slight crispness in the air that will disappear in the next hour or so. As we make our way through town we talk to our families, taking plenty of photos in the process, Lisa’s knee has been sore the last few days so before leaving we find a pharmacia and she gets a knee guard to help support the joint. We get to the outskirts of town and our climb starts, this tests out our legs and feet, we have a 20 km day and towns are plentiful, we hit the first one in no time, then another, and by the time we get to our third town for the day we are ready for a drink and a sit-down, there is a descent into the town, and on the outskirts we find a lovely bar which is playing music and is situated near the beach, we take our time soaking up the vibe and enjoying the rest. I am starting to feel off - a bit headachy and body achy. We continue on, making the climb up and out of Vega de Ribadesella, the views are spectacular! We spend the rest of our walk today along the coastline, meandering up, down and over headlands, lots of families are out and about enjoying the last few weeks of this European summer. We get to the 15 km mark and I am done, I am feeling sick, my headache hasn’t lifted, my body is aching all over and I need to get to our destination and try to sleep this off. We come to a bar on the outskirts of La Espasa, Lisa calls me a cab and we are at our accommodation before we know it, we check in, shower and I try to sleep, unfortunately our beautiful walking day cut short….

      Colunga,Spain

      14 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

      It felt so easy!! 20km day - cool breezes, dappled shade; dirt roads, dirt paths, rocky paths. More sea views and beaches and more beaches! Up meadows full of cows. Watch your step!!
      It’s cooler 72 degrees and high clouds over head so not many folks on the beach. We are remembering our water!
      We did come across a Korean group fully covered in sun protective clothing, hats and masks. To me they looked SO hot. But, gosh, were they fast! They passed us with such fresh enthusiasm while we were dragging in our 4 and 5th hours of hiking . We would lose them. Run across them again. Fast! Fast! Fast!
      Then we saw the BUS. Some of the group would pop out of the bus at designated stops on side roads.
      As they were all dressed, masked up, hats and neutral or dark clothing we didn’t realize one group was switching out for another! We were always running into a group with fresh legs that was only going a mile or so.
      Switching topics: In La Vega we came across wood structures set high above the ground. These are used for grains, corn, etc. The slabs they rested on were to keep the rodents from getting up and into the food stores. I imagine a big storm of the very nearby coast and high waters could be an issue, also. La Vega had more Horreo’s then we had seen. The history!
      A yard we walked by had hand painted signs representing pilgrims from so many places and country’s.
      Just something to make one smile while walking behind our only Camino commute issue. The bus group, which we again came upon took photos of everything and were difficult to get around. Yes, a group off loaded in the next town we were walking through.
      Very sweet. They seem to really enjoy being able to greet us with “Buen Camino” which is the norm. And then giggle a bit. Adorable!
      Then seemingly wanting all of us to ‘cue up’. and go single file was less adorable. We just had to blow through while smiling and wishing them ‘Buen Camino’
      We have arrived at Colunga. Tammy scored again! High five. We have a private ( for the 2 of us) room , enormous bathroom 56.93€ or $66.70 for the night! They offer a complete breakfast and they have GF and DF for me. The proprietress is GF also so was very careful when making notes.
      We have another 20km day which feels again so easy after the 30+km days we’ve had. There are also no ‘mountains’ to cross. Tomorrow however, there will be no stops/coffee shops until we get to our next stop Villaviciosa,Spain. Full bellies for us and a banana and lots of water in our packs!

      Villaviciosa,Spain

      15 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      An ‘easy’ 17km day before tomorrow . 30km into Gijon, We were commenting on having lame posts/blogs. Perhaps we needed a challenge to write about. No sooner did we say that and the skies opened up. Rain!! Rain ponchos came out. Cover the backpacks!!
      And it rained so hard we took refuge under a tree. Be careful what you ask for!
      We walked in the rain ( not too long) and on fairly gentle terrain for the most part….( especially as compared to the first 11 days)
      I had time to think, not just focus on breaths, next steps and getting to food or eating from our packs…. and the end goal for the day a place to stay.
      What has the Camino taught me so far: how high I can climb, how hot, sweaty wet, tired, and hungry, I can get. I hate hills you’ve all heard me say that. And yet we are happy getting up each morning to climb up always up ( well some down of course) to see what one can’t see in a car. To interact with folks from Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, France, Spain, 🇧🇪 Belgium, of course ( Natalie) and more. To see the small villages and architecture there that you won’t see on the main roads. The feel of old Spain. I wouldn’t miss it!
      I also thought about blisters- we have come upon many pilgrims with blisters, bandaged feet, some who have gone barefoot or switched to sandals to walk great distances. Some folks who have to go home, take a day or days off just to heal. Due to my fearless leader’s experience ( Tammy). we have zero blisters. Each day, that is worth celebrating!
      Tonight we are again in a private (shared room) with a great bathroom. The laundry is across the street. A engaging Sideria ( cider house, which they are known for) and restaurant is down a block. AND there is a fan in the room!!! It’s amazing the little things that make your day on the Camino.
      Back to the Sideria! The proprietress pours without looking until it first hits the glass. She makes it. Runs the restaurant. Pours every individual glass of cider. And you drink it immediately out the bubbles leave. Look 👀. You can see how there are here bubbles do disappear. Jk. One does need to drink each small pour. Apparently, they don’t use the carbonation (fake?) system we do. She pours. They are bubbles. Drink fast or the bubbles are gone.
      ***This is another great find of a place to stay. High five Tammy!!

      One German egg platter, please

      27 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Ordered the first alternative dish to tortillas patates today. I call them "Huevos alemania". I told the waiter 'huevos, patates, cebolla (onion), pan (bread) and gestured a bit.
      I got boiled eggs with sauce, roasted potatoes and some bread to go with it. It was a bit dry, but okay for my first Spanish order.
      It looked very much like student cuisine and the whole time I was imagining what the Spaniards were thinking to themselves, "God, do the Germans really have no food culture at all?"

      When I paid, I saw the exact same dish move to another table. Ergo, it's either off the menu or another guest told the waiter "Yo, I'll have the German egg platter there, too". Probably the latter.

      Duesos

      7 maja, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Day 20
      Ahhhh, this place and this weather are exactly what I dreamed of for the camino.
      Coastal paths, some made up and some stony tracks, some roads, little pretty villages surrounded by farmland and nature, mountains in the close distance and sea on the other side. Today I took three sea-dips, one a skinny dip with a friend to fulfil a challenge she'd been set!
      But today I undertook to take no photos, apart from new flowers, and only cheated for one selfie with the above-mentioned Trix (Netherlands), one video of what I assume is the collection of home towns/countries of all the guests at the accommodation we were passing, and one pic at the skinny dip beach of what looks like naked woman crouched in the surf (but isn't)! I've also shown a different euphorbia, perhaps the 'euphorbia euphoria'.

      So much more could have been 'captured' on camera, but how can I be really present to an experience if I'm always putting a machine between my face and the Real World I'm wishing to be present to? On day 14 I took a minute long video of the waves thundering into the rocks at the bottom of the cliffs (which I showed here as a single still) and was rather abashed to realise I had 'got it' on camera before I had actually stood and looked at it/ listened to it breathed it/ felt it/l loved it. That's not how I wish to live. I choose to be HERE, NOW, with THIS and with US. Will you join me?

      Letting people speak and listening in such a way as to hear them rather than interpreting and categorising what they say in terms of my life is also how I want to live, and practice living. I've been observing myself and observing others in our getting-to-know-each-other chats day by day, and wondering why people ask certain questions: is it to understand their conversation partner better or to understand themselves? Both are valid! But a balance feels healthy. Don't you recognise that feeling of being peppered with questions and wishing they would Just Stop? And also that experience of being deflected from a real encounter by someone who hides behind clever quasi-insightful probing?
      And don't you know that quality of true exchange with someone when the conversation flows and resonates and feels mutual, warm, accepting?

      Today took me past the half way mark of the Camino del Norte. I have walked around 280 miles. Guess that makes me hardcore!
