[QUOTE="Tia Valeria, post: 142226, member: 6537"] [b]Arriondas to Plymouth[/b] While in Cangas we learnt that the original route we planned had been the official way to go from the north to the Primitivo, following the Roman road through the mountains. Then with more modern roads built, so that the route could continue along the coast, it fell out of use. We took the mid morning ALSA for the 10 minute ride from Cangas de Onis to Arriondas, where we checked the FEVE time for next day's onward journey to Santander and the ferry home. Having booked into the Hotel Estrada again we were able to leave our packs and go round the town. We finally gave in to temptation and bought a (genuine) cow-bell in an ironmongers, then went for a walk along the river. Here we saw a very furry caterpillar and several small lizards, plus a large green one which fled into the bushes before we could get a photo. We went to El Submarino for their menu del dia with arroz con pollo again. We didn't notice that the third course was fish and chips :shock: so when it came up we were too full to think about eating it. They swapped the fish for coffees and we expected to pay for the menu plus coffee but very kindly they just charged us the menu price. After siesta we went for a final walk in the park and sat in the sun. The temperature was up to 19C, lovely. Terry had his book and I painted a small picture of the mountains. Then it was time for supper and a re-pack to get everything in our packs and the presents, bell and food for the journey in our 'silsacs'. Next morning we bought bocadillos and croissants on the way to the station where the tourist train was in [i]again[/i]. We have seen it so many times this year. There were 8 cyclists in all on the train until San Vicente, when they all got off together. A Frenchman, who was obviously not used to the FEVE and its speed and also was actually going to Santillana, was finally able to understand that he needed a bus too, but he was very agitated for some time. Our final day in Santander was damp, but we had a good ferry crossing and arrived home safely. Now we are begining to think about next year, but more of that [url=http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/camino-del-mar-f112/topic19004.html]here[/url].
