22 September 2016: Cadavedo

Amazing view from the point right beyond our hotel.
 

20 September 2016: Soto Del Barco

So we didn't think twice about rewarding ourselves when we happened upon a hotel whose reasonable price included a couple of hours in the spa!
 
   

20 September 2016: Avilés to Soto del Barco

OK. We know the peregrino experience can be one of hardship and of self-denial. It is strenuous work climbing from sea level up to as much is 1800 feet in elevation within just a few hours.
 

19 September 2016: Aviedo

A Camino blessing: Being in Oviedo on the day of their annual festival, this one celebrating Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas.
 
  

18 September 2016: Villaviciosa

One of my favorite things about walking through Spain--and Europe for that matter--is the antiquity. 400-year-old Hotel Carlos I was a treat, especially considering it was €24 per night.

16 September 2016, Ribadesella continued

I took a rest day after Jim called yesterday one of the top five worst days of walking he had ever experienced after five Caminos. "LA TORMENTA" had really worn us all down. I had become quite a bit dehydrated (no, it does not work to stick your tongue out during a rainstorm) and thought it best to stay around, rest, and rehydrate. But that doesn't mean I didn't have a jolly good time in the town of expert sidra pourers
 and salsa dancers.
