106 km
From the heights there was a view to the coastline and some bays. I could see the humidity from the ocean drifting to the mountains.
Before crossing the Rio Sella to Ribadesella detected some shipwrecks in the bed of the river. In the town some shops were opened on Sunday and I bought a fresh bread for my lunch later in Nueva. I saw many people in the restaurants and siderias, maybe to celebrate the special weekend of Maria Ascension. After Niembru I was ay the sea level again. A church was built in a little peninsula in a small bay.
Llames was marked wit a star on my map and it had an old center. There was a festival going on and many people were dressed in local costumes. On the Pjlaza Parres Sobrino a folkloric group showed a dance and a lot of people were watching it.
After the crossing of the Rio Purón the cycle track came through a slowly ascending deep valley of Eucalyptus forest. It was like a part of a jungle and there could be a group of monkeys in then next tree. As the valley ended I biked through an environment like the Austrian Alps. Cows mowed and some had bells.
In Pesués I choose the quiet route national instead of the track, because I did not want to risk a steep part at the end of the day. It was the right decision, because I had a splendid view to San Vicente with a large church and a castle
