Sept 28 Gijon

A day off to rest, primarily our feet. But guess what? We took a long walk along the shoreline. Somehow not having a 10-12kg  backpack makes the walk so enjoyable. It being Saturday, the promenade was busy as was the beach, where there was enough space to have three soccer games to watch. The waves were strong and there were many surfers enjoying the ride. 

To note, is the afternoon routine by locals to visit bars and cafes for tapas or pastries. Due to our trekking schedule we are having our dinner at 8:00pm, whereas the locals have their dinner much later.

Gijon (pronounced heehon). Also known as "Xixon" in their local language. Pronounced "cheechon".
