We rode calmly and got lunch of pintxos, a tortilla with chorizo and a couple of Amstel limon canas.
We rode some more in the rain and decided to stop at a bar for a café. When we entered we saw three walking pilgrims sitting. One of them was the Norwegian guy I had met yesterday and the one whom had given us the information on Cudillero. I shared with him that we had stopped off in the beautiful town and showed him the pictures. He gave me further on on the Norway hiking/biking trails.
All day today was rain jackets off and on, we were soaked. Carmen got petty cold and ended up wearing my cycling pants. We wanted to get extra miles in when the weather calmed down so we rode on to Pinera. We hoped there would be washing service but there was none there was no sun either to dry the clothes and it keep raining. The albergue had just re opened, there was a film crew there doing a film for a the town which part of their tourism money comes from the pilgrims.
I ended up cooking noodles and because I did not have anything to put on them I put jam and honey. They at least filled my stomach. Carmen ended buying the dinner at the albergue and had dinner with 2 other pilgrims while I came to the bed to write. The bikes were locked up and our clothes were hanging over them to hopefully dry a bit. A very peaceful albergue because it had just opened up. There was thunder and rain during the night.
So after a very wet day we ended up doing about two and a half stages today and ended up staying at the albergue de peregrinos de Piñera which at one time many years ago was the school building for the small town.
