Day 117: Cangas de Onís (Cycle)

Today I rode up to the Lagos de Covadonga (elevation 1126 metres) for the second time. It wasn't any easier this time! And, I think I encountered more traffic.

Here's a few photos:

The first is of the Santa Cueva de Covadonga ("Holy Cave of Covadonga"):

The second is of the Basília Santa María la Real de Covadonga:

And now for some views:

The descent is good, but would be better without all of the vehicular traffic!

On return to the van it was time for:

• Food
• A catnap
• Coffee and biscuits
• Bicycle maintenance
• Evening meal
• An evening walk
• Obviously I stopped at the ice cream shop
• Walked back to the van eating ice cream
• Now writing blog post!

A good day!
