We have moved on to Luarca, further west along the coast. Not as pretty as Cudillero.

There are a couple of superb rock formations nearby though, and we managed to find the totally un-signposted beaches to access them. Low tides are important to be able to get the best views, so we visited a couple of times to get it right. Hardly saw anyone at either visit to either beach.

A short way off the coast is very rural, and quite medieval in places.We’ve also been inland a bit to see an abandoned village – it was a long way and frankly a bit small when we got there. The drive was great though, and some spectacular views to be had.

Our hotel is a converted house of an “indiano” – a guy who made it rich in South America, and then came home to show off! It’s a bit ostentatious for us (there is suit of armour in reception), however, we do seem to be the only guests! It’s only 800m from one of the above beaches, which helps.

Further west tomorrow..
