[QUOTE="Umwandert, post: 1251240, member: 94324"] [B]First day: Now in Aviles[/B] 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 straight away. I covered the half stage to Aviles in just under four hours, taking the alternative route via the really unremarkable seaside resort of Salinas. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_8510.jpeg"]169128[/ATTACH] The sea was grey and the tide was low. So was my mood. The nice café I knew from my Camino Norte in 2022 was closed for the public. So I had just a gloomy break with an apple and energy bar on the edge of Salinas. The rain never completely stopped, but in the last hour it was at least reduced to a drizzle. And here is my first count: Day 1 (30/4): [B]Asturias Airport - Aviles [/B](via Salinas)[B]:[/B] [B]6 pilgrims [/B]plus[B] 2 reverse pilgrims[/B](!) Of course, this is not yet very meaningful, because I was walking on the Camino only in the afternoon, when most of the pilgrims had certainly already passed. To my great surprise, in the very first hour, I met two pilgrims who, like me, were also walking eastwards, but who had probably already turned in before Aviles today, as I didn't see them again later. According to them, the weather will stay bad for another three days(!). That will be quite a difficult start... [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_8538.jpeg"]169127[/ATTACH] I'm staying in a small hotel today as I had an online course in the evening. The pilgrim albergues will come later, and I'll report on the number of pilgrims here too. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
