Llanes — final evening

I think I allocated one day too many to Llanes. Sure, the hotel was comfy; I had my own room, the scenery was pretty, the weather was good, and the town had enough choice in food and drink. But there are only so many times you can visit a vantage point. For the final evening, I revisited the area to the west. This is Playa de El Sablón again, with bathers and long shadows from the evening sun.

And more walkers too, on a weekday.

A few minutes later, up on the cliff coastal path.

Moving west.

Taking in the whole scene.

This time I walked further out to the headland.

From there I looked back on the cliff path.

And had this clear view of the coast far to the east.

I was in a paddock looking at a few rocky isles offshore. I recall I had to go through a narrow stone gate to reach here; it was to mark the end of the official cliff path; I was responsible for myself past that point.

Remnant of a wall probably. 

The town in evening light.

A panoramic view.

And that was the final evening in Llanes. Westward tomorrow!

Llanes — Senda Costera E9

I was now on the Coastal Path E9 between Llanes and San Antolin. It can be used as an alternative to the suggested route for the Camino Norte. From this vantage point I could see the coast to the east.

Looking back at the Playa de El Sablón.

Taking in the whole scene.

Looking at where I am meant to go.

The mist is rising from a blowhole in the cliff where sea water has been forced up by the waves.

A closer look.

The headland in the distance is Mirador de la Talá. It's outside the municipal boundary. I wouldn't walk that far.

This was taken from an observation point jutting out to the ocean.

The evening was falling so at this point I retraced my path and descended to the Playa de El Sablón.

With the familiar Hotel Sablón.

Next, a few scenes from the town harbour.
