Hi, we’re in the not very well known province of Asturias in Northern Spain.

Currently ensconced in the pretty little fishing village of Cudillero, we are on a mission to seek out the  stunningly beautiful, off the beaten track, not well signposted and totally deserted beaches. 

The weather today was not great, but we avoided the worst showers in our little car. Karen stayed in the car at the lighthouse on the headland, but through the rain we could see the rock stacks we were aiming for. Playa de Silencio was not too hard to find, and the road was ok too. Steep steps down and some super cliff and beach scenery.

Our second objective – Gueirua –  was a bit more difficult to pin down, we eventually found a sign that was only visible from one direction, and at the first attempt we thought the “track” was not passable – eventually though we tried it and although steep, rocky, twisty and slippery it came to an abrupt end above a sheer cliff at a so-called car park.

The beach though – wow! – super rock formations, and miles of them, all to ourselves. 

Forecast for tomorrow looking better, more beaches to locate!
