Well we are pretty tired after the long haul from yesterday and decide to have a rather short walk today and stay in Luarca which is a lovely town for the night. We hd a wonderful dinner last night which restored our faith in the pilgrims menu and we had a deep sleep only waking at 0800 hours this morning which was great for our tired bodies.
After a wonderful breakfast in this lovely little hotel we start off with the usual hike up a massive hill and head off to our destination. The walk is lovely as usual and we are directed pretty well by following the yellow arrows which are not the same as the books that we have because of the construction that is evident all around us for the new highways which seem to be everywhere.
We eventually make our way into Luarca and find a nice pension mentioned in the guide book which we highly recommend. It is called the Pension Moderna and is on the camino way through the city, a very old flat with large rooms and a wonderful lady who seems to run the place. We have a lovely balcony to hang clothes to dry.
We spend the day resting and wandering around and meet the Norwegian boys and Chris the American once again, which is nice to see them.
We have a lovely lunch with a bottle of wine on the sea wall at the harbour and then go for a siesta as everyone else does here in Spain at 2 pm.
We have a great seafood dinner in the harbour area and then head for bed early in our lovely rooms.
We feel lucky to be in a good place with a nice bed and clean sheets and are getting used to the idea of spending a little more on a pension to get away from the crowded and not so clean alberques that we have passed lately.
