We left Navia mid morning and via a few port towns on the North coast made our way to Gijon. It has been another very unstable day and we have had heavy showers of rain and hail. The temperature has also lowered to a rather cool 11 degrees centigrade so we are being acclimatised to the UK weather!
We have been on a fasting day so as it is now nearly seven o'clock in the evening (as I write this draft) our minds are rather focused on food! We are going to have 2 boiled eggs each together with rye crackers (woo hoo, contain your excitement!).
Tomorrow we will have a butchers around Gijon and then top up our supplies of wine ready for our next trip.
We have really enjoyed the last 9 weeks and feel that reasonably speaking we have 'done' Portugal and Spain. They are different cultures and certainly warm places to go in the British winter period. What did surprise us was that we really liked Southern Spain, Northern Portugal, and could take or leave the Algarve.
When I closed up the 'French' blog I said "where next?". Well this time we know exactly where next........ Sweden and Norway via Holland, Germany and Denmark. After catching up with family, admin and that type of stuff we will set off for 'Scandawegia' at the end of April.
