Notable mentions go to three drunken locals with megaphone waking up the entire campsite in Ribadesella with three hours of sustained shouting starting at 530am and also a night where our accommodation options dried up and we had to pitch in a field on a 30 degree slope. So we have arrived. Gijon m http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Principality-of-Asturias/Gij-n/blog-317406.html With the excitement of the Picos now ten days ago we have returned to more sedate wanderings along the north coast enroute to Gijon. Gijon is where the campsites on the Camino del Norte dry up and the path turns inland. From Gijon we will take a bus back to Bilbao to meet our ferry.We crossed from Cantabria into Asturias several days ago. Although we have covered limited ground in our latest regio http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Principality-of-Asturias/Gij-n/blog-317405.html My travelling companions Sandi Heath and Lynne Rose and I finally found an internet cafe in Spain. And guess who we found inside it clacking away My lovely friends Jim and Linda Lequesne. We last saw them a few days ago in Bilbao and then went our separate ways. I wonder what the odds are of finding friends at 830 p.m. without having made arrangements to do so Higher than I think Anyway i http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Principality-of-Asturias/Gij-n/blog-277996.html I moved on to Gijon another seaside town although smaller than San Sebastian.There's a beautiful park here which was formerly a fort if you walk along the beach you won't miss it. The views are fantastic from here and there's sculpture is pretty amazing and hugeMet some crazy 21yearold Spanish girls whom I partied with and who made me some calimocho wine connoisseurs look away NOW http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Principality-of-Asturias/Gij-n/blog-94014.html
