A lovely harbour beach where we swam and had some lunch——only fools and Englishmen go out in the midday sun!

we even found septipus !

We drove east to Ribadesella, situated at the entrance to a large ria. 

There is access to a marina but it is dredged and narrow which became even more apparent as the tide dropped with the large expanse of water suddenly becoming a lot of drying sandbank. Lovely beaches and a walk up to the tiny chapel on the hill overlooking the entrance; disappointingly it was locked.

A delicious supper at the fisherman’s restaurant and then back to Gijon to find diesel, not without a bit of difficulty, and return the car.
