To Castro Urdiales 30km (665km togo)
We hadn't planned for long trek of 30km, but at Pobena (14km) it was 10am and too early to stop. Also, this was a small town with only beach activities. As it turned out, Pobena was the start of a 200 step ascent to the most beautiful ocean views. The remaining 16km consisted of repeated ascents and descents that was so exhausting. During our trek we passed various farms with many barn cats close to trail. This was a highlight for Julie to see so many cats and kittens, but only one was brave enough to come to us. When we arrived at Castro our feet were hurting and we were thirsty. It being Sunday, the stores were closed, but there were many tapa bars to quench our hunger and thirst. In the evening we found an excellent Chinese restaurant and later went to the plaza to enjoy the music and dancing. This was a perfect ending to the day.
