Al booked us into another micro-hotel, we will spend 2 days here exploring. It’s over the weekend and not a lot happening bus wise on a Sunday. We will catch another bus Monday morning, early. Very early actually, bus departs at 7 for A Coruña. We are switching from the Camino Norte to the English route.

We have missed walking to Finisterre on our previous caminos, we are making that a priority this time. So far we have walked about 197 miles in two weeks! Seems crazy, I think Al is underestimating us. There is a lot of walking he’s not tracking, then there’s when he forgets to even start the tracker. 😐

Yesterday in Gijon we were all over the place, watching Al’s Relive video it looks like a giant spiders web.

After checking in and dropping off our backpacks we headed out. The beach has a long tidal zone. We walked down the promenade and it seemed like the whole city was there. We walked along and past the Church and ended up on the battlements.

After wandering around the Battlements we went down into an older part of town. There are several Sidrerias on each side of the road. We went into one and ordered a bottle. The waitress put it into this contraption that when you hit the button the sidra pours out and at the same time it aerates the sidra. Which you are supposed to just put a mouthful or so in your glass and drink it right way.

After are refreshment break we continued on down through the older section of town and made our way back towards the beach.

Tomorrow we intend to go in the other direction down the beach and explore that end of town, until then.. be well.
