A very strange day today. Our room last night faced into the setting sun and so was very hot all night, despite having the window completely open. So, after a hot night we woke to a real pea soup fog that stayed with us across the river, along the playa at Ribadesella and inland through San Estaban de Leces. The pictures in the photographs were painted on the doors of a house on the village of La Vega, which was another very pretty medieval village but,being close to a surf beach had a bit of an early Margaret River feel to it. We followed the beach on and off all morning and had lunch at Playa Espana, still in fog. About 3pm we finally emerged from it as we walked into Colunga, a town slightly inland from the beach – if you look at the las of the pictures you can see the fog trying to push into the valley.
It was hot all day even with the fog and it certainly didn’t diminish the enthusiasm of the locals to spend the day at the beach!
21kms today and 433kms in total!
