[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 101215, member: 537"] Riaño to Ventasierra. Though the mileage I saw says this is a 22 km stage, it felt longer than that. The second half of the walk is especially nice, with an ascent up on the roman road to a spot high above the river. The first part has a lot of asphalt, you start out by crossing over the dam and walking through a tunnel, which luckily has a safe path for pedestrians. The path takes you off the road near the towns of Carande, and then again through Horcadas. There's an albergue in Horcadas, which is a very pretty little town. [url=http://alberguehorcadas.blogspot.com/]http://alberguehorcadas.blogspot.com/[/url] I was told in town that it's advisable to make reservations. At the second tunnel, Reb has figured out a way to avoid more asphalt, and her guide describes it clearly. It puts you on a nice GR path marked with red and white blazes, and it tells you that you are on a Sendero Historico (historic path) Ampurias-Finisterre. Not sure how you would get here from Ampurias,though. You go by two towns once you're on that path, Salas and Cremenes. Both towns are on the other side of the river but are easily accessible by bridge. You will be alongside the Esla River for this second half of the walk, and pass a fisherman's hut/refugio, where Francisco Franco is reported to have spent time. Ventasierra is not a town, it's essentially a restaurant/hostal with a house nearby. It has a great spot on the river, lots of rushing water which really cools things off. Food is decent, rooms are basic and pretty clean, but a bit pricey at 30 euros for a single room. But the owner agreed to leave me a thermos of cafe con leche and something to eat when she closed up the place. It was surprisingly hot the following morning at 6 am. No more ascents between Ventasierra and Leon. Flat, flat, flat. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
