It's a great hotel, I haven't been for a few years, maybe I will get the chance to return before I'm become too old!
It’s permanently shutHave a ride up the Espinama - Sotres trail whilst you're there, let me know if I can get through on Friday
Great day out with the boys.
We basically rode the Potes-Panes-Cangas-Riano-Potes loop but adding in Covadonga and the Mirador de la Reina then turning off on the CV80 before Reina to rejoin the N621 by Portilla de la Reina .
Covadonga Basilica
Mirador de la Reina
Roman bridge at Cangas de Onis
Then a blat down the N625 for lunch at Multiaventura Vidosa
Up and over the CV80 to Mirador de Piedrasitas
Then coffee in Portilla de la Reina to see my mate Zar
First met him with my wife in 2018.
So he’s about 10 now, bless him.
Then up to the Monumento al Oso
Then on to the obligatory Mirador del Corzo
Filled up back in Potes. Did 162 miles and put in 12.1 lites so had 1.1 left so another 15 miles ish at 60mpg. The trip meter mpg is very accurate.
Not bad fuel consumption as was caning it a bit today .
Then back to the Del Oso where Maia was waiting

Great day out . Perfect temperatures peaking at 23 degrees c.
The X-ADV is definitely run in
Left it in Sport most of the day .
I’d definitely recommend that optional rider pegs as used them most of the day as they sit you up and forward and give you more control,than having feet on foot boards, which I use mostly when pottering through towns etc .
Comfort seat is all day comfortable .
Nice meal tonight then we say adios to @Skid06 tomorrow when we leave early doors for a 310 mile reposition to Canfranc Station for the night before riding the sublime ( @Doc
) in its entirety .
Its early days yet as only done 500 miles on the X-ADV since leaving home , but to those that ask can you tour on it , the answer is already absolutely !
Don’t think I was holding the boys up but perhaps @Skid06 knows different

Great pics of quite possibly my favourite part of the world to tour on a bike, looking forward to returning there in September with a couple of nights at Del Oso to round off the trip. Good to hear you're enjoying the X Adv a mate of mine has recently bought one and is also enjoying it, I wouldn't rule one out that's for sure.
No idea what you are talking about.(Cont)

It is but only for the de-blinkered . And I’m not talking about some wanky WeiserWizard to finish off your £25k steed because BMW couldn’t be arsedSupa scoots.
It’s the future

Of course, I taught him everything he knows.
Lamb looks amazing. Crispy fatty skin. Not so keen on puds.

It probably does to a northern simpleton .
They did have egg and chips in the starter menu , bizarrely, so you could have that as a main size portion
Lamb was delicious . You don’t get it properly like that in the UK, as they would have cut all the fat off first and dried it out to appease the limited culinary tastes of the inhabitants
Lamb was amazing . Had it last year too. So much flavour and just fell off the bone .
Oi. Less of the fukking Northern if you please.It probably does to a northern simpleton .
