Fawlty Towers

The two ‘Munsters’ who appear to be, and I use this term loosely, running this place, seem to delight at trying to outdo each other in surliness, they make Basil Fawlty look like he’s been to charm school!

On the plus side the room is cool, in a temperature way, without having to have the windows open to invite the local mozzies in for a party, so a decent night’s sleep is assured. It’s a large room with a good sized bathroom and all the hotel has varnished wood floors which gives a different, but pleasant feel. It’s very clean and the food in the restaurant was actually good, even though Herman barked at me “No paella” when I requested it. For the princely sum of £27 a night (room only) I can’t complain, and to be fair, if it wasn’t for those two it’d actually be excellent!

I came to Cangas del Narcea to use it as a quick base for a couple of rides out, but tonight had a wander around the town which is actually quite decent. Oh, one thing I really have noticed here, people wear masks just walking in the street, roughly 6:1, so out of respect for the locals I did likewise.

These are the only two that would load as all the others had an ’empty alt attribute’ whatever the hell that is?! No doubt Nige will tell me 😆

Excellent WiFi here signal here, just a shame they’re still on dial up!

Here is a short Relive (with stills and video) of today’s ride to to Ponteferrada to visit the castle.

Tomorrow I head into deepest Galicia, I haven’t quite decided on my route as it will depend how knackered I am. Watch this space…….
