After a reasonable night interrupted by prolonged barking from the nearby dog pound, we were woken by the cheery and friendly sparrows who welcomed us to a slightly better morning weather wise. Don´t see many sparrows in the UK any more.
Unhooked and dismantled flagpole and tent and pressed on. Fiona Bruce (Serena) now replaced by Daniel who was obviously an ex city banker moonlighting for Garmin. Very public school and just as difficult to understand when pronouncing Spain's street names but at least he doesn't nag. Ah well! There´s always the map. Stopped on the way at Comillas with its delightful harbour. Good sketching material but this aspect hardly underway at present. Moved on through delightful countryside to Panes then Potes where a helpful Turismo Office showed us a well appointed camps site ´La Viorna´where we set up shop. Managed a short 12 mile bike ride mostly uphill to clear the lungs then a mushroom risotto chez Camper which surprised us with its quality. Good Rioja wine helped us appreciate its appeal. Good crack with Al as we get to know each other even better.
