Stage 30 – Friol to Sobrado dos Monxes, 27 km

Last evening we met up with a couple of women (Dutch and German) and ate with them at a rather nice restaurant near the church (can’t remember the name), 13 euros for a menu. Rather expensive but also rather nice. … Continue reading →

Stage 26 – Castro to A Fonsagrada, 21.1 km

Stage 25 – Berducedo to Castro, 27.1 km

Yesterday afternoon some locals seemed to take delight in telling us that there would be storms today, and their prophecy of doom was supported by the weather forecast. It was indeed raining when we left this morning, but not heavily, … Continue reading →

Stage 21 – Oviedo to San Juan de Villapañada, 31.7 km
