Llanes-Playa de Poo-Celorio-Nueva-Pineres de Pria -Ribadesella    Walk Day 17

18.6 mile, 239′ elevation

Cruised into Ribadesella on two worn rims. For some reason even though a relatively flat,  gentle walk, my right achilles is screaming at me and my left knee barking. A cool 12 th century monastery outside of Celorio followed by the ruins of another near Nueva. Sunny most of the day with gusty winds making footing interesting on the coastal bluffs. Ribadesella semi famous for the Tio Bustio Caves. These are cave paintings that date back 15,000 – 20,000 years and feature deer, horse, bison, etc. They also have what appear to be coastal caves for diving and water exploration. Looked enticing until I tried to swim away leg pain and the arches in both feet cramped up. I afraid I must have looked like an epileptic having a seizure to those on the beach.
