Castro Urdiales - Liendo 20k
It rained all morning, even the mountains that were in the distance were shrouded in misty cloud.. We were cosy enough in our ponchos and it wasn't windy so it was pretty good.
We started out wondering what way to go this morning and a nice young man...obviously on his way home from a really good night out... pointed us in the right direction. He then told us that the Camino goes right past his house in about 14k and if we're there after he's had a sleep he'd cook us an omelet. It was very nice of him but we decided as we went through his town that he was probably still asleep after obviously a wonderful night so we pushed on.
We are often put on the right track. If we hesitate at a corner there is always someone there to show us the way. Even the odd occasion when we were looking for the bread shop or something that wasn't on the way someone would vehemently redirect us back to the Camino. We have had to have clandestine trips to find bread and other goods.
The route was generally flat with some sea glimpses through the rain and mostly on the road for a good part of the day. Not a particularly nice day at all just a long walk to a very nice Alburge.
Currently we're sitting, just chilling and sampling the local delights on what's turned out to be a lovely sunny afternoon. Heaps of daylight and it's still only 5pm.
