Sunshine and Cycling

We woke to a beautiful sunny day and we have been cycling along a coastal track through pine forests and ferns that regularly opens up to small ploughed allotments with dark, rich soil planted with potatoes. Every now and then the track would turn again to give us fantastic views across the harbour and out to sea.

 

Such an amazing contrast to France.

 

If only I had remembered my camera !  So we are going to take the route again tomorrow for some pics.

 

The Yacht Club is very welcoming and the Spanish grand prix is currently on the television, so I think we may saunter up to the club house at 2pm and spend the afternoon  watching the race, along with the Spanish.

 

We have checked out the weather forecast and there is not much wind about for the next few days, more importantly the swell has decreased from 3m to 1.5m, much nicer !

 

We plan to stay here tomorrow to visit the supermarket, which is closed on Sunday, and then head off to Ria De Arosa on Tuesday, a trip of around 40 miles.

There are several marinas and anchorages in the Ria with lots of small beaches and harbours, we will probably head for the marina at Villagarcia for provisioning, water and electric (we like our home comforts!)  and then, if the weather is settled, it would be nice to try one of the anchorages in the Ria.
