Day 29
Pendueles to Naves
June 8, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
Today didn't start too great. It started by being woken up at 5 am by the alarm of the only other person in the room, despite the large sign asking people not to make noise before 7:30am. The alarm was followed by the sounds of rustling plastic bags as he packed up for an interminably long time. I did manage to get about another 45 minutes of sleep, but not as much sleep as I would have liked before walking 27 km.

Fortunately today's walk took me past several beautiful beaches, and eventually the alarm clock offender eating breakfast - I chose a different place for breakfast. 😉

I had reserved a hotel for tonight in what can be best described as a hamlet, as it's too small to be called a village. I'm waiting for one of the two bar/sidrería/restaurantes to open at 8 so that I can eat dinner. I'll be joined by Tamara from the DC area who decided to stay here rather than walk farther at 4:30.Read more

Traveler I'm not sure. I forgot to write about how Spaniards who made their fortune in South America came back to the region and built these large houses.

Day 13
Playa de Huelga
November 29, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Gestern Abend kam noch eine ältere Dame zu uns ans Fahrzeug und teilte uns mit das der ausgesuchte Stellplatz nur in den Sommermonaten geöffnet sei. Nachdem wir ihr per Translater erklärt hatten das wir Hunger und Durst hatten, sowie müde waren, durften wir stehen bleiben mit einem freundlichen "Buenas Noches"

Am nächsten Morgen hatte sich der Regen verzogen und wir hatten einen schönen Blick auf die Picos de Europa...so konnte der Tag starten 😊

Immer entlang der Küstenstraße...mal mehr, mal weniger gut ausgebaut hatten wir einige spektakuläre Blicke auf die schroffe Atlantikküste

Unser ausgesuchter Foodprint für heute ist rein exemplarisch, hinter jeder Kurve offenbart sich ein neuer, atemberaubender Hotspot.

Das Gebiet nennt sich Asturische Schweiz und das zu Recht. Rechts der Atlantik, links seicht geschwungene Hügel mit großen Bergen im Hintergrund...dazwischen kleine Höfe und satte Weiden...

Eigentlich wollten wir noch sogenannte "Blaslöcher" anfahren, aber der Weg dorthin führte durch kleine Dörfer mit zu schmalen Sträßchen, also ließen wir die "Bufones" links liegen und suchten uns einen schönen Stellplatz etwas abseits der Hauptroute.

Fussweit hatte man einen gigantischen Weitblich über die schroffe Abbruchkante der Klippen

Ein toller Tag bei schönem Wetter 😉Read more

Day 37
Drive to Naves
May 15, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Leaving Bilbao was nerveracking. When we finally left the perimeters though the scenery was dramatic, green, mountainous and lovely. We decided to head inland and then rejoin the coastal area around Naves. It was an exhausting day but truly the villages, rivers, valleys and snow clad mountains in the distance were really wonderful. Thankfully the country roads as we headed west were excellent too. Interestingly, each province of Spain will only provide info and tourist maps of their respective region. So, in the Basque tourist office they had nothing at all about the adjoining region of Cantabria and similarly for each province as we went along. When we reached Naves at about 6.30pm we were starving but it's a tiny hamlet and the only bar there had no food. We had to hit the road again and eventually paid way too much for some fish soup and fried squid in Llanes; a tourist trap on the coast. To add insult to injury, the drunken Spanairds sitting near us could be heard half way to Madrid. Not happy Jan...
Only a picture of the car today, because the scenery could not really be captured in a photo, and I was hanging on to the steering wheel too hard on the tight and twisty roads!!Read more
Traveler Very Nice - it is a shame you could not drive the car with out the worry of the roads - but I bet it was still a nice drive.

Día 3: 5ª parada: Playa de Gulpiyuri
September 4, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
La Playa de Gulpiyuri no es una playa al uso, pue se encuentra tras una montaña que separa el campo del mar. Cuenta con diversos agujeros que dejan pasar el agua del mar y crean una playa diminuta pero preciosa.

Para terminar, fuimos hasta Llanes, otro pueblo pesquero, en el que cenamos cachopo y croquetas (unas de cecina y otras de queso asturiano). Así recargamos pilas para seguir descubriendo Asturias.Read more
