El Pito to Cadavedo about 28km and 9 hours!

El Pito to Cadavedo approx 28kms!



This for me was one of the best hiking days so far. Difficult, challenging but very rewarding. The start was good with a nice track through trees and continued to be good until we met the workings of the new motorway which had cleared away some of the track.  However, we soon got back to the markers and found our way to Soto de Luina. Pleasant little village where a cafe was opening at 1100 just in time for our second breakfast. As we left the way markings were a little confusing showing one way marked 'Camino' and another way marked 'Bellota''. We chose the Camino route as we had no idea what the other one meant. Later in the day we discovered that Bellota was a village later on the way that was not on our map!  Subsequently, it appeared that this may have been the flatter route. Our map shown a climb of only 100m today but we definitely went higher then that. We saw no one else  on the trail today and spent much of the time high up on the Spanish Amalfi equivalent. Finally got to the AdP at 1700 tired but happy. No more words today. Hopefully the pictures will tell the story.
