Peace and quiet in Austurias

Trying to find a internet connection has been tricky and the 'in house' charging system has had teething problems, a bit of a tease when there are multiple drive-by Wifi zones on route in Spain! At the moment I'm sitting in a rasta esq bar sipping a ceverza listening to tunes including Will Smith, the Macarena tune and Greece lightning (random). Austurias is awesome and from the ferry port at Sandanter its only 50km. The coast is spectacular, the stars fill the sky and the line ups are empty. We have made it as far as Gijon, though it was raining when we arrived we decided to explore the city, we got soaked but left a whole lot cleaner (the first fresh water in a while!). Gijon is a pretty cool city, we checked out the old town and partook in the traditional - throw cider over your shoulder and hope to find the glass - drinking antics, the tapas in also supremo here and theres tons of it. The surf hasn't been massive, just typical summer swells, although we have been lucky not to have prelonged flat spells. The one flat day we had was at Meron, a forest lined cove with alot of potential, we are definaltly coming back! The swell picked up and we surfed some of the beachies around vega, at a couple of foot Ella was loving the longboard! We are heading back along towards Los Locos and beyond and will hopefully catch a little wave at Mundaka.....I will be in touch.
