To Villaviciosa 18km
Today's trek went along the hills with many ascents and descents. There many little hamlets along the way, but not a single place to have a coffee. Cider (Sidra) is a common drink, which is not surprising given the many apple orchards in this region. We often pick apples on our trek and they are not sweet to eat, and are pressed to make sidra. And the locals have a unique custom for pourng the drink. The bottle is held head-level and the glass at hip level. This technique obviously requires many years of practise to master.
