No time to hang around, I was up and away by 7:30 am!
I hoped this was the start when I would begin to see some lovely sights. I was on the southern coast of the Bay of Biscay, a more southern version of Cornwall maybe? But it all just seemed laid aside for tourism, mainly Spanish, with not a UK car in sight.
Anyway, back onto to main N634 coast road I was happy to stop anywhere that seemed worth stopping for. To my left in the far distance I could see one of my main destinations, the Picos De Europa mountain range. That was the home of the almost extinct brown bears, lynx and wolves. It looked stunning but too far away to photograph.
I continued past Villaviciosa and Gijon and Ribadeo. There was the occasional pretty beach that lent itself to a photo:
and then a rustic location for a quick lunch:
a thoroughly delighful spot at Viveiro:
and finally a campsite at Meiras
where it was good to learn that the water was drinkable!
359 miles covered and had I done the right thing following the coast road. Should I have just gone straight to the mountains?
