Day 16 on the Camino de Santiago - Norte Route along the coast.
It was overcast but dry at least for this mornings ride, heading off to have a gander at what is widely considered to be one of the most panoramic ceremonial burial grounds in Europe. Perched high on a cliff edge, above Luarca harbour, this impressive graveyard has stunning views out to sea for the dead folk to lie back and enjoy.
To put it into perspective, when these impressive viaducts go over my head, I have to go down one side then up the other…eat/sleep/repeat!
A quick tally up from Strava shows iv racked up about 500 miles/800km on the Brompton so far.
Tonight’s albergue doesn’t look like it’s up to my usual standard!
“A dreaded sunny day,
So I meet you at the cemetery gates,
Keats and Yeats are on your side,
While Wilde is on mine..”
Got to crowbar a Smiths track in on this journey, I’m sure this cemetery is better than the one in Salford, Mozzer!
