San Vincete de la Barquera to Celorio

The beach

This entry is upside down again.
Weather ranged from 54-67 degrees during our ride. Today is Saturday. Lots of cyclists alone and in groups taking advantage of the weather along our route today. Needless to say they passed us, climbing uphill with powerful strokes, an occasional head nod or wave. A few holas, bon jurno, and the greeting of the caminos- hola el Camino.

Lots of pilgrims were walking the Camino today. The most we’ve seen so far. Interestingly, some had their dogs with them.
