A few days off the internet ...

Been a few days off the internet, due to being in very basic accomodation for a couple of days i.e. simple albergues with a great atmosphere and minimal facilities. The other evening was because drinking rose wine seemed a much more important concept than updating a blog ! 

So I'll just add a few photographs here, and do a more detailed description later. In summary, amazing scenery, pretty villages and towns, weather way too hot for walking, met a Perth girl who knows half of the people I know through work as we've overlapped but never actually met ! small world ....

Sentillana del Mar

Medieval little town but unfortunately become too touristed for its own good. However a lovely meal with an international group of peregrinos






Morning leaving from Santillana de Mar


Shortly after dawn

Comillas

Fantastic town, lovely old centre, great beach for two sweaty pilgrims to swim from. Shame about the bed bugs at the cheap hotel. 



Crazy Gaudi house in Comillas, just beautiful

Cobreces 


We didn't stop here, but a cool statue and cathedral

Cobreces, and a funky house built with wealth from the conquering of Mexico


And just a few pictures from today's walking, to Llanes. Beautiful, tough, fun, communal, other people to talk to ....
