After breakfast in the bar we walked to the station and caught the FEVE to Celorio, eastwards towards Llanes. We took our bocadillos for lunch with us, wrapped in tin-foil, from the bar.
The weather was sunny and much warmer, a lovely day for walking. Just past Barro the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores can be seen across the ría. The roadman cleared a way through his workings for us with his digger; very helpful. Further on near Niembro there was a spectacular view across fields to the mountains. The Camino comes downhill to the monastery of San Antolin, now deserted, and passes alongside the beach before turning inland again. There is a track through the woods near Naves before arriving in Nueva. After a café con leche and another bocadillo we went into the general store where they sell everything. Scythe blades to cans of peaches. They used their 'sello' for the Fiesta del Cristo del Amparo to stamp the pilgrim's passport for us.
We caught the late afternoon train back to Ribadesella. Including walking to and from the station (3km)we walked 19.8km today. The new signs on the Camino make it about 16km now, rather than the 12km given in the guide, for this section.
