Last night we were in Columbres, a village not directly on the coast. The weather reflects the nearness of the Cantabrian Sea, and it was doing the chilly-drizzle thing when we arrived at the edge of town. We walked around 28 kilometers yesterday. In Columbres we found Bar Mexicano. The bar is run by several Mexican fellows from Michoacan, one of tbe southern states of Mexico.
Today we walked a smaller distance, but part of it was on the GR trail E9, along the coast. Many cows, many goats, some sheep. I saw wild chamomile growing. And we have seen the home of the famous Bufone, a natural geyser like explosion of the sea through a natural tunnel in the midst of grass and rocks. We were looking at it with a friendly group of young Spaniards. One of the gals told us that the bufones can be dangerous in the afternoon when they get wild and throw salt water out of the mouth of the tunnel. It was late morning so the bufone wss noisy but the water wasn't actually splashing out.
Tonight we are in an albergue in Llanes.
Tomorrow we intend to depart from the all-walking program and ride a bus over to Covadonga, a Marian shrine and the beginning of the Reconquista.
Ultreia.
