After a morning walk around the break wall and through Cudillero (again) we ready the Hymer for the road. Itโs another grey morning. We read horror stories of the heat wave in England and Central Europe but its fairly mild again today.
Itโs an easy 50 kms along the A8 before turning into Lluarca. Another town built around its Porte, surrounded by steep cliffs. Itโs dissected by the Rio Negro, which doesnโt seem to be an issue as there is a bridge every 50m, OK every 100m. There are a lot of bridges for the size of the town.

Driving down into Lluarca, we cross under the Fav Railway.
At first glance Lluarca doesnโt appear all that motorhome friendly, but they have a big car-park 10 minutes from the Centro.
We cross a few bridges to the main square.
Iโm calling this clock tower the town hall, but we have no idea. We cannot find a tourist office and the Spanish are not big on signs.
The Porte is very pretty, lots of little tavernas and restaurants.
We see a church up on the headland and a sign pointing to a cemetery (yes, we were surprised), so we continue on.
The Chapel of the White Virgin.
Whilst you can get inside thereโs more bars than Long Bay Goal, so I manage this photo hoping not to drop the iPhone X.
The Cemetery of the White Virgin.
A sign tells us, this is the most photographed cemetery in Spain.
So we cross a few more bridges as we make our way back to the Hymer. In the background of this photo you can see the Fav Railway viaduct we passed under earlier as it continues to wind its way around Lluarca.
Back on the A8 we continue on to Tapia a beachside village about 20 kms further west. The comments in P4N are so good we thought we should give it a look.
