Camino del Norte Day 28 – Navia to Tapia de Casariego

Today had been a low energy day with lacklustre views. The consolation was that it was overcast, keeping me from baking in the Sun.

It was a very late start by Camino standards this morning, it was closer to 0900h and sunrise had been and gone. I walked with Judyta, as route ascends out of town.

The scenery was much the same as yesterday, country roads surrounded by cornfields and large agricultural businesses blotted the landscape – it also followed the main road.

The lack of scenery and noise from the road prompted me to search for my earphones, however I seemed to have misplaced them.

We stopped for a drink at a roadside bar then continued on into La Caridad. I wanted a tortilla y potata however, Judyta wasn’t hungry and carried on.

I grabbed the sello from the church; one of the few I’ve seen on this route that has been open and has a stamp!

The scenery didn’t change until finally reaching Tapia, a small coastal town. The Albergue is almost on the beach however check in is 1530h. With an hour and a half to kill, I went to the harbour for a drink at a bar.

Later I met up for dinner with Elliot, Samuel, Judyta and John. We’re all in the same albergue and heading to the same destination tomorrow.
