We arrived in La Isla on Tuesday and found our hotel which was by the beach. On Wednesday morning we walked up to the headland and found the trenches, now restored, a sobering reminder of the Civil War. Then in the afternoon we went to Gobiendes to visit the pre Romanesque church.
Santiago de Gobiendes is only open on the first Wednesday of the month from 2.00pm and you have to either phone or arrive at the nearby Sueve Museum before then. The guided tour was very interesting and this is a good place to visit, just off the Camino del Norte.
Following the suggestion made by the guide we then walked from Gobiendes to Obayu and back along a lovely forest track. This leads to a waterfall and 'fuente' (fountain) and in Gobiendes itself also passes the walk around the local hórreos.
