      123. Etappe: Poo / Ribadesella

      November 11, 2018 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      Zunächst startete der Tag sonnig und es gab so manche Steilküste und Bufons (Meereswassergeysire) zu bewundern und so einige Kuhherden zu durchqueren.
      Mittags setzte leider der Regen ein und hielt an. Völlig durchnässt aber glücklich erreichte ich zusammen mit einer Pilgerin aus der Schweiz die angestrebte Pilgerherberge. Doch leider mussten wir erfahren, dass diese in diesem Winter zum ersten Mal geschlossen hat. Eine Alternative gab es im Ort leider nicht, die nächste offene Herberge war ca. 17 km entfernt - um 17:30 ein wenig zu weit für uns., um noch im Hellen anzukommen. Also entschlossen wir uns nach einer kurzen Krisensitzung mit Wein, Pinchos und Fußball in der örtlichen Dorfkneipe dem Rat des Hospitalieros zu folgen und den Zug zu nehmen. Damit wir nicht wieder vor verschlossener Türe stehen, rief ich vorsichtshalber an und eine nette Frau sagte mir, dass sie noch 2 Plätze in ihrer privaten Herberge frei hat. Erleichtert ging es also mit dem Zug weiter und so bin ich heute schon in Ribadesella, wo ich eigentlich erst morgen sein wollte.
      Für morgen bin ich mir noch nicht sicher wie es weitergeht, ob ich wieder zum Ausgangspunkt zurückfahre und ein zweites Mal in Ribadesella übernachte. Das entscheide ich spontan beim Frühstück 😊      Read more

      Ribadesella, Spain

      June 8, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Ribadesella is about a 25 minute drive from Llanes and well worth the trip! It is a very busy and popular place on a weekend with something for everyone whether it be a walk along the beautiful waterfront, a visit to the beach (calm side or surf side), fishing, views, restaurants, cafés, bars, or food food food! Cider is big here - when you order a glass of cider, the custom is that the escanciadore (cider pourer) artfully decants fizzing local brews pouring it from a great height! They don't look at the glass or the bottle they pour from! I love that they keep the tradition going!
      We ate at a small cafe that offered a lunch special - entrée, main, dessert, bread and a drink for €12. The waiter did not speak a word of English and of course our Spanish was poorly delivered but another great meal was enjoyed by all. Another custom we've noticed with these special 3 course meals (not only here) is that they put a whole bottle of wine on the table and you drink what you want - one glass or the whole bottle. It is still included in the price as advertised!      Read more

      Nachdem ich noch einen Tag in der Nähe von San Vincente blieb, an einem sehr. schönen Strand, playa de Oyambre, dort gab es auch Strandbuden, endlich... 😀 Bin ich weiter Richtung Ribadesella, der Ort ist klein, hat. Einen kleinen Fluss, Sella, welcher die Stadt trennt und eine sehr angenehme Altstadt, ich aß dort menue del dia, das typische Asturien Gericht, bohnen mit chorizo und Speck, wirklich lecker, einfach halt, leider gab es wieder ne halbe Flasche Wein dazu. 😀 Aber gut. 😀
      Der Ort ist gut. Auf camper eingestellt, viel Platz.. Morgen geht, es zu einem Berg, mal sehen ob es mein Mobil schafft.. 😀      Read more

      Another 35 km day. It's a little too long for my liking, those last few kilometers into town are really a slog. But the walk was really good, spectacular in many places. I took a little detour to get back to the coast, and that added another 4 km or so to my total. And of course it's a lot slower walking carefully over and around rocks than on a forest path or along the road. Not to mention all the time it takes to stop and gaze at the crashing waves or rocky coast and take yet another picture.

      Though these coastal paths are usually fairly obvious, they are not well marked, so I was very glad to have the GPS. A Spanish friend sent me all the tracks for the coastal detours on this Camino and I couldn't have done it without them.

      So by the time I washed clothes and showered it was after 4pm, so once again too late to eat lunch in a restaurant. That's a real negative aspect of arriving so late. You can't eat lunch, and you certainly don't want to wait up until they start serving dinner. So I'm having another store-bought dinner -- gazpacho in a box, two spinach and cheese empanadas from the pastry shop, a red pepper, and an orange. Not terribly exciting or gourmet, but it'll fill the belly! Oh yes and a local specialty sweet of some type.

      The red building is my hotel for the night. 30€ special for peregrinos! That's not bad but about 10€ more than going rates in other less touristy parts of Spain!      Read more

      Pineres-Ribadesella

      September 13, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      À 7h tapante tous mes compagnons de chambre sont debout, alors je renonce à mon heure de sommeil supplémentaire, et décolle vers 8h. Aujourd'hui est mon dernier jour de marche officiel. Et pour ce dernier jour, le Camino m'offre tout ce qu'il fait de mieux : un sentier rural loin de la route tout au long de l'étape, qui longe une chaîne de montagnes, quelques rayons de soleil qui transpercent les nuages dans la belle lumière matinale, un vent doux et chaud, des vaches et leurs bébés, des moutons, des ânes, des petits chats, et même des poneys. J'avance doucement, car seulement 10km me séparent de ma destination finale, et je n'ai pas une envie folle d'arriver.
      Je me languis d'un café et d'un petit déjeuner mais il n'y a absolument rien sur le chemin. Alors je profite juste de ces derniers instants sur le Camino. Sur les derniers kilomètres là pluie tombe enfin. A petite goutte d'abord puis en grosse averse. J'utilise enfin ma cape de pluie.
      Je finis par arriver à Ribadesella, village dont le charme me surprend dès les premières rues. J'atterris dans un café espagnol bien typique où je me régale d'un petit déj bien mérité pour 5euros, puis d'une tortilla baveuse à souhait. Je visite le village, où je retrouve encore une fois toutes les caractéristiques et la topographie typiques d'un village d'Asturies : de vieilles maisons de toutes les couleurs pleines de charme, un port avec des petits bateaux de pêche, l'océan, les collines verdoyantes et les montagnes en arrière plan.
      C'est ici que s'achève officiellement mon Camino. Les paysages, les vaches, le bruit des vagues, les odeurs de figues, et les rencontres avec des pèlerins du monde entier vont me manquer. Cette vie très simple aussi. Je suis bien contente d'avoir entrepris ce périple.
      Je prends ensuite un bus pour Lastres, autre village réputé d'Asturies. Et en effet, Lastres est un rêve. Fait de maisons colorées adossées à une falaise et surplombant l'océan. J'y passerai la soirée et la matinée avant de repartir pour Cudillero, autre village populaire des Asturies, où je me poserai deux jours avant de repartir à Madrid samedi.      Read more

      August 9, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      ... Hab die Schnautze voll. Ich fahr jetzt mit dem Zug nach Gijon.
      Ich spar mir das Herbergenwettrennen der nächsten Tage (schaut extrem schlecht aus, da eine große Herberge inzwischen geschlossen ist) und die Etappe von 22km über den Pass. Auf der Etappe sind 2x 400 Höhenmeter auf sehr kurzer Distanz zu meistern.
      Mal schauen, evtl. ist es nach Gijon besser. Vorher zweigt der Camino Primitivo ab und so mancher läuft nur bis Gijon. Ich hoffe es kommen ab Gijon nicht zu viele Neue Pilger hinzu.      Read more

      Ribadesella Is a lovely little seaside town, set in a small valley at the month of the river. The first picture is the view from my room. The second is one of a series of bas reliefs along a cliff that depict the history of the town and port. The rest are scenes around town.Read more

      Ribadesella and then Gijon

      August 26, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      From St Vincent we kept moving west, we passed Llanes with its painted blocks on the breakwater and headed to what was a very pretty village in Rio Sella estuary, not a lot of history but nice. Saw our first elevated wooden house 'Horreo' and tried to see the Tito Bustillo Caves and paintings. Hadn't realised they had Unesco status and that you had to book at least a month on advance, we visited the museum instead which was surprisingly good and probably more informative than just looking at marks on walls. On Thursday we spent 3hours kayaking back along coast to visit natural caves for edge by the sea they were stunning but experience wasn't as good as could have been as was raining all day. John took photos on waterproof camera and I will try to put some on blog soon. Then on to Gijon a big industrial Port on west of the estuary but touristy on east passed a small Port call Tazones on the way very picturesque . Last 2photos are in Gijon.Read more

      Camino Del Norte - Day 14

      Llanes to Ribadesella
      Distance 30km
      Total ascent 16om

      Last night, our little international group met in the town to look at the Cuba de la Memoria. This celebrates the history of seafaring.
      We then went to a Sideria bar to try the local cider. The waiter pours the cider from an arm's length into a glass. When they are bored of that, they give you an amazing machine which does the job. It was a lovely evening as Anna and David explained the Asturias culture.
      We were all set for another day on the Camino. Our little band set off at 6.30am in drizzle. The weather got progressively worse so it was one of the first time for jackets. We walked along the stunning coastline until we stopped around 9.45am for breakfast. There were already a number of pilgrims also waiting for the coffee. The doors open at 10am and we all charged in.
      By this time, we had walked 14km. We carried on the Camino passing through small villages and pausing to watch black kites and other birds of prey (don't ask me what they were). We also conversed in a mixture of English, Italien and Spanish. It was amazing as we all understood each other but to achieve this, we had to do charades and google translate.
      We finally arrived in Ribadesella at 1.45pm and found our pension for the night. I am sharing a room with one of the Italian guys Andrea.
      We immediately went out for our lunch and hoovered it up. A German lady on the next table to us in the restaurant was intrigued with the composition of our group and how we were enjoying each other's company.
      My walking shoes died today. I have worn the soles down to material n two weeks. There was no protection left in them. I am now the proud owner of Gucci green/grey Columbia walking shoes. They were the ONLY shoes in my size (13s). There were no clown shoes or barges left before you ask.

      Tomorrow is another 31.5km to Sebrayo.      Read more
