Sea
and mountain
The
second stage started from Ribadeo to go to the coast, between viaducts,
ditches and tunnels towards Trubia.
The
grey light over the Eo estuary was becoming clearer and clearer
as we go along Tapia de Casariego, the Navia estuary, Luarca, Soto
de Luiña, Pravia, Grado
in a romantic view full of green
and blue colours.

from Pravia
Hardly
a few hours we went from the sea to the mountain, from the Bay of
Biscay to the "Senda del Oso" (the bear path) in the Quirós
council. A contrast accentuated by the stop in Trubia, the getting
on the bus to go to the recreational areas of La Buyera, between
the mountain ranges of Aramo, Sobia and Tameza.

Climbing like bears
Sportsman
and journalists pedaled strongly along a green path when they got
on their mountain-bikes: the "Senda del Oso" (the bear
path). This tourist trip, built over an old railway, was carried
out by a Transcantábrico expedition for the first time.
The
stage between the recreational area of La Buyera and the dam of
Valdemurio put to the test the participants' stamina, who climbed
like bears the ramps by bicycles. And it had a very special moment,
where the race was neutralized: the visit to the enclosure of the
bears Paca and Tola.
Later,
the expedition went to the refuge of Arrojo, it had lunch in the
Valle de Quirós Hotel and paid a visit to the ethnographic
Museum of Quirós to remember the legate of the ancestors.
