Luarca-Otur-Rio Bayatte-Anleo-Polavieja-Navia                    Walk Day 25

13 miles, 125′ elevation

Luarca, like so many of these last coastal towns, lay spread around a harbor, partially man made with three prestine beaches on the outer edge back to back to back. The weather changed and the wind came up and it rained a little yesterday, so no time to check out the water front really.

This morning may have been the easiest day walking: Luarca to Navia. Relatively flat, through green suburbs on nice clay type soil trails. Ran into Brian and Tiffaney, (young Texas teachers), Jordan, ( guy from Denmark who has been on the road for three months), walking all the way from Denmark. I have never met a more laid back individual in my life.

Even though the day was easy enough, I needed to make it more complicated, so I neglected to bring my next day’s hotel information in my backpack. Usually I pack all that I’ll need for the next day’s hike the night before. Map, sunblock, second shirt, if it’s going to be cold, rain jacket,  etc., and I include the voucher for my next day’s lodging. Today, not only did I not bring today’s voucher, I never even looked to see what the next hotel’s name was.

Four hotels later,  roaming the town centre like a lost dog, I found my hotel, Hotel Palacio Arias. And more importantly my luggage.
