Woke up to the now familiar sound of cow bells which we first herd 🐂 on our 1st trip to the Picos, ( https://barbariantour.wordpress.com/2019/10/07/1172/ ) no more musical though.

After a long lie in, this travelling is hard you know!, we went exploring plus we needed some food. The sun was shining so it had to be shorts. First time this year.

Potes, the nearest big town, has a supermarket and as it happens an ice cream shop. It also has a lovely river walk, numerous bars and cafes and a smattering of tourists.

We had forgotten about siesta time but right on cue everything shut at 2pm (except the bars and cafes) We even tried the Picos National Park information centre but that shut at 3pm, just as we arrived.

So we deposited our food in the apartment and went for a walk. Up hill until we found the bees and their hives at 720m. We didn’t stick around though 🐝 although some honey would have been a good sweetener to get us back.
