BICYCLE SHOPS ENROUTE

Last time that I cycled in northern spain we had a major bike problem. The bottom bracket (main pedal axle) bearings gave out. Fortunately we were near Llanes and found an excellent bike shop (Llanesport) there, who replaced the bearings whilst we waited.
This year we are cycling from Santander to Santiago via the Camino del Norte and returning via Lugo and the Camino Primativo. Does anyone know of bike shops along these routes, just in case!

Further to my original posting, this might be of value to other cycling pilgrims.
Two years ago we went on a cycling pilgrimage to Santo Toribio de Liebana in the Picos de Europa. We had a major problem with one of the bikes. It was late on a Saturday afternoon and we expected to be stuck until we found a bike shop on the Monday morning. We managed to get to Llanes which is on the Camino del Norte. Here we found a bike shop but it was closed!
However it was due to open again at 7 in the evening for 2 hours. When it opened they replaced a broken axle bearing and 1 hour later we were back on the road. Bravo to the bike shop mechanic at Llanessport!
Below is a list of few bike shops that I have found along the Camino del Norte, via the internet:

At Llanes:Llanesport in town centre
Villaviciosa: Cueto’s Bike, C/Pedro Pidal Arroyo 2
Navia: Eureka Bicicletas, Av Carlos Pelaez 8
Villalba: Moto Taller el Tunel, C/de cidade de Betanzos 6
