Tineo 2

Thursday 13th continued:
The views of the mountains through the clouds are fantastic, and yes there is snow on the far ones. There are several hórreos (grain stores), which are all now protected in Spain.

The weather forecast helped us to decide that it would be sensible to return to the coast, and walk part of the Norte, rather than continuing on the Primitivo. A decision re-inforced by the snowflakes drifting in the wind during the afternoon.

We went to check bus times and found the brand new bus station, opened in March this year. Rather than leave late this afternoon we will go on the bus which leaves mid-morning tomorrow for Oviedo and then head for the coast.
Terry took a photo looking towards the Camino, from the play area on the bus station roof. The main entrance is at the far side of the circular blue building, and the buses pull in down below.

We met 2 other pilgrims looking for a meal so sent them to the Restaurant Tineo where we ate last night. (Same owner as our pension). It is a short distance past where the Camino turns sharply uphill to the right. Really good food and good value. We ate there both nights we were in Tineo. We had our breakfasts, and bocadillos for lunch, in the café opposite the Assembly Rooms where they were so helpful phoning about rooms for us on Wednesday.
