I didn’t end up eating dinner last night as my 3:30pm lunch was big enough to tide me over, some Paella, then roast chicken and fries and a dessert and some wine all for a Prix fixe price of 20 euros. A steep climb this morning out of Luarca, then largely country roads for miles with lovely rolling terrain and some hills. Around 1:15pm came out near a little cafe and ordered some lunch. After a rather tough but tasty burger walked out and turned out a bus was due at the bus stop, it was late, but saved another 2 hrs of walking and considering I had 4hrs already in, I was happy. The Palacio de Arias hotel is quite nice, and managed a clean up and a nap. Then out to explore the town. Not a lot going on. Interesting smell prevalent of barnyard with maybe a hint of cider.
