Cedeiro A Coruña
The trip started the Galician way, good roads, not too busy, courteous Spanish drivers, up and down, left and right, generally over secondary roads with good driving, sometimes smaller asphalted tracks. Also today a cloud deck took half a day to get burned by the sun, with a sombre first…

Covas Cedeira
The trip started under a thick low hanging cloud, obscuring both the sun and the hilltops around, that gave way to the usual blue skies and sun later in the afternoon. The road continued along the Galician coast, good roads, mostly along secundary roads but with not too much traffic…

Ribadeo Covas
With Ribadeo behind us, we are now firmly in Galicia, after having crossed Asturias..
The day started under a very hazy sun, and temperatures that were cooler than what one would expect in this time of the year. Most likely the ongoing effects of the bushfires in the north west…

Cudillero Ribadeo
Right after leaving the hotel, the road started climbing and that would be the pattern for most of the day. The terrain was cut through with small rivers, with steep descending of 2-3 km at one side and equally steep ascending. of 2-3 km at the other side. That gave…

Gijon Cudillero
I left Gijon, covered in a thick low hanging cloud deck, but pleasantly warm, around the yacht harbour, thereafter to the old industrial Gjon. Rusted plants, transportation bands for iron ore and coal passing over the road, huge pipelines leading up the hills and cloud covered hills all around. Pretty…

Ribadesella Gijon
The trip started with a ride along the concha of Ribadesella, admiring the long crescent shaped beach at low tide when its yellow sand contrasts with the sea behind, the surfers walking to their daily business, and at the other side the old colonial houses in all their splendid colours.

Pechon Ribadesella
The day started at the small village of Pechón, the first village after leaving Cantabria and entering Asturias. Asturias lived up to its reputation because at the end of the day yesterday it started raining, and now although it’s warm, the sky is totally overcast. A little bit Belgian weather.…

Santander Pechón
Departure was via suburban Santander, wide two lane roads, but not too busy, colourful new apartment blocks, and multi occupant large houses. The people working at the bank need to live somewhere. A separate bike track but with lots of turns and twists when negotiating roundabouts. Not much to see,…

Laredo Santander
The day started with a 2 1/2 km climb some 150 altitude meters, leaving Liendo where I had spent the night. A 6% climb on average to start this Sunday, a bit harsh. From the summit, the road plunged down into Laredo, the first town to be visited on this…
