Thursday 27 March 2014

We watched the tide go out; we watched the tide come in; we watched the tide come in...... (Well you've got to sleep sometime!)

As forecast, no more rain and from a cold start it improved as the day wore on. Moving on along the coast, we stuck pretty well to the N634 which seems to be the main non-motorway route across northern Spain. It generally runs alongside a new motorway but occasionally strikes out into the hills and becomes very picturesque. If you're not in a hurry it's very quiet and recommended.

A quick call into Lidl for milk, bread and water - we're sticking to bottled water for drinks - then a stop for fuel and lunch were the only interruptions to a nice easy and enjoyable run, taking turns to compare the scenery to other places we've been.

A pretty seaside village beach

A valley town

First glimpse of Picos de Europa in the distance

With snow on the tops
As we plan to "do" the Picos de Europa mountains tomorrow we'd picked out an aire at Cangas de Onis which is right at the beginning of a "scenic route" on our map. Just a town centre car-park with four allocated spaces and facilities for water and waste, we joined a huge overland camper truck and in turn another motorhome joined us. Don't think there's room for anyone else........
