[QUOTE="Tia Valeria, post: 141099, member: 6537"] [b]Arriondas to Cangas de Onis:- May 11th[/b] 11.4kms A dry day with a cool wind but good for walking. We walked following the GR 108/9,along a road, uphill from the Rio Sella and Arriondas. There were mountains all around with snow still lying on the highest peaks. The track eventually comes back downhill to the river again. After crossing the bridge into Villanueva we stopped in the cafe/bar for a coca cola. They were very friendly but not used to pilgrims. From the cafe we walked along the Rio Sella on a good path. There was one slippery place where a stream was still flowing across the path, but someone had helfully put a stone in the middle. Coming into Cangas de Onis we walked right past the Capilla de Santa Cruz (737) and it was [i]open[/i] so we paid our entry and went in. The chapel has the 'Altar of Victory' and is built over a dolmen, which can now be viewed below the floor of the chapel. The Cruz de la Victoria (now in the Cámara Santa, Oviedo) was kept here originally when Cangas de Onis was the capital of Asturias from 722-774 AD. Cangas de Onis is still a city in recognition of this. We had not expected to see the inside of the chapel so were really happy that it was open. Further down the street we had a very good menu del dia and then went to the tourist office to ask for directions to our hotel, the Aguila Réal. Another welcoming place and very comfortable. As it is the weekend we have 2 nights here. [/QUOTE]
