The twins are grown up and expanding both the albergue and the family while still running the farm.
Asturias is Apple country and everyone has some apple trees in their back yards. These are small apples not for eating....but for making “sidra” in large barrels.
The walk was beautiful although it did start out with a rather steep ascent. Always enough picture opportunities to allow me to catch my breath.
Our first sight of the Atlantic .
Approaching the outskirts of Gijon we spotted this huge building and latter found out that it is the largest building in Spain built 1950 by the Franco regime then abandoned and now used as a cultural center by the Universitry of Oviedo.
We took the alternative route though parks straight to the beach to avoid blocks of city streets.
It took us a while to find a hotel with Wifi but not long to drop our packs and try the nearest Sideria.
Our hotel.
Our hotel is at the end of Lorenzo Beach near the beginning of the Peninsula. After showers and a brief rest we explored the Pargue del Cerro to see and experience the concrete sculpture Elogio Del Horizonte. It’s acoustics of waves crashing underneath is really worth the walk.
A few other sites around the town.
