ASTURIAS – NORTH COAST OF SPAIN


We left  León for warmer weather and headed north to the coast. This was my first time in the lush green Asturias region. For the first night we found parking near to the beach close to the Port of Cudillero. We were looking into the large and notorious Bay of Biscay which I have sailed across twice.


It was a pleasure to walk along the boardwalk behind the dunes.
Next day we drove west through fantastic scenery, taking the old winding road which was almost deserted. We saw beautiful colour of sea in a bay and drove down to it. It is Playa Concha de Cudillero.







Later we continued to the picturesque port of Luarca. 
We parked overlooking the sea.




Campers are not welcome there so after a walk we continued to Navia and spent the night in a service area for autocaravans with about 40 Spanish vehicles, a rare sight. We found it the be a meeting of the Club Autocaravanista Principado de Asturias.
It was conveniently next to a large supermarket, with toilets and café too.


Next morning we continued west, crossing the Rio Eo into Galicia, and the town of Ribadeo. Asturias is wonderful and worth a longer visit.
