Colunga and beyond
All told, it took 2 days to reach Colunga. The flight, then two buses with overnights in Bilbao and Santander because non of the trains matched. It wasn’t a bad thing. Both Bilbao and Santander are easy, fun places to spend time and large enough to explore something new. The bus travel to Colunga traced familiar ground and felt like a speedy coastal Camino recap.
The bus dropped us off, enjoyed a coffee and picked it up the Camino from exactly where we had left it two years before. And, that was it, we were back on the trail, like we had never left it. Walking an easy pace, chatting and just being in the moment.
