67. Ribadeo to Cudillero

Flat tyre once again! Alas! Tubeless tyres are usually wonderful…except when they are not!! Temperamental things!

We got away quite early (a relative term for here it does not get light until after 7.30…being so far West but sticking to Central European time!)….

…and started with a long walk over the motorway bridge (saving a 20km detour!). This crossed over the Ribadeo River from Galicia to Asturia.

Today was mainly on the road….(as was the Camino!)…very hilly, and winding….following the route of the motorway most of the way(which thankfully takes almost all the traffic!). 

Lots of Asturian storerooms (perched up on rodent-proof stone pillars), which seem much bigger than the Galician variant….this one attached to our coffee stop!

We had infrequent views of the ocean and some lovely-looking beaches…

Huge bridges everywhere…but this was certainly the most impressive! Italy has the name for the best road builders…but to my mind Spain has the best roads! (..& certainly the most courteous drivers!

And so to Cudillero. My second visit…to possibly the prettiest village on the Atlantic coast…with houses perched around the improbably steep natural amphitheatre. Very pretty!

And our terrace enjoyed the same sort if view! Not too shabby really! (…well…it was quite shabby really!)

Well-deserved beers after yet another double-tonner! And Shennae could not wait to get into he Goat’s cheese!!

A bit late for us to be out really…but a day off tomorrow! I think we both need it!
