You are getting close to where I live now. Unfortunately I can't meet you on the road, as I am preparing my own Camino and I still have lots of things to do...
You could walk all along the cliffs from Ribadesella to Playa de Guadamía (and even...
In fact, I had already met them all before I reached the bifurcation. I'm still wondering where the last pilgrim with a dog was hiking to, as it was practically too late to reach Gijon before sunset.
Thank you, @Luka, for your recommendation...
Fourth day: Now in Duesos
I'm not a morning person, I need time to warm up to the day. And I first have to get used to albergue accommodation again. The first light came on at 5.55am and the first alarm at 6.10am. When I got up at 7am, I was...

I don't know when on the next stage you plan to head for the coast...

It happened to me too! For today's stage I therefore switched to wikiloc. Now at the albergue in Villaviciosa I uninstalled and re-installed the app. Seems to work again.
Second Day: Now in Gijon
The weather was much better today! I took my time in the morning because I wanted to get the stamps from the Tourist Information (opens 10am, rather ugly) and the Centro Niermayer (opens 10.30am, wonderful stamp)...
First day: Now in Aviles
I had imagined it would be so nice, fresh off the plane and straight onto the camino in glorious weather. But when I left Asturias airport at 1pm today, I was greeted by pouring rain. So I had to put on my rain poncho...
