Spain May 2017 - LLanes

From Suances we moved on to Poo (pronounced more like Poe than Pooh). Here we planned to walk two short sections of the Camino de Santiago.

The first was between LLanes and Poo so we started by walking the coast path from behind our hotel to Llanes. The path is well marked and on the outskirts of Llanes itself turns along a road and then up onto the cliff top walk at the look-out point. There is then a good walk along this 'paseo', originally part of the towns sea defences against the corsairs, until the town is accessed via steps down past the beach. The church has a cross carved in the stonework by the door. The palacio is still in a sad state of disrepair with all restoration work stopped for several years now. The old town walls are in good repair and were part of the defences of the town.

After lunch we followed the Camino signs taking the inland route back to Poo, leading into the village over the FEVE line and the road.
