Where's Bertie? He's still in the Aire at Llanes.
Weather: Mainly sunny. Very cool start.
Not much to report today; I got engrossed in finishing the book I've been reading (Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White).
There was a little bit of coastal walk before we headed into town for lunch:
And there was some wandering around the town, parts of which look to be medieval...
...with some smart buildings...
...and one of a particularly unusual modern design - the Port Office (I think):
Then, by complete contrast to everything else, there's the monstrosity that is the old cinema:
It looks like I've captured some people disapparating.
During a bit of window shopping, Mick chose this one as his pick of the day:
Lunch out didn't happen. Being Monday, half of the bars and restaurants were closed and those that were open were largely deserted, even at gone 2pm. There was just one that was busy, but their menu didn't suit (no fish or seafood, even though they were on the quayside?!). We weren't up for being solitary diners today, so we abandoned our hopes of trying the local bean stew (Fabada Asturian) and consoled ourselves with more cakes from the same Pastelaria as we visited yesterday:
After such a lazy morning on my part (Mick had run whilst I had lounged with my book), I had to take another walk along the coast and around the town just before sunset in an effort to justify the cake. It's probably a good thing that we are moving on tomorrow - this is a town with a whole selection of fine, hard-to-resist cake shops.
