Monday 9th November 

This morning the tide was out and vast expanses of sand were exposed in front of our parking place on the "sea front" at Foz. The van started first time after I had turned the ignition on and off a few times before activating the starter motor. 

We made a short journey east along the north coast of Spain - we crossed from the region of Galicia into Asturias and stopped for the day at the town of Tapia de Casariego. We travelled 23 miles (37 kilometres). Here's a view out to sea from just down hill from our parking place on the town's Aire.

We talked to an English couple with a campervan who are staying on the Aire. They have two young children and a dog. They are from Devon, from Exmouth. They are surfers.

We wandered round to the harbour - this place is quite reminiscent of a Cornish fishing village. Another very nice place. I really like this area.
