Parador de Corias to Parador de Cangas de Onis

Our drive today was about two hours. Before leaving Corias we were able to look into the church. It was open because they were preparing for Mass. The church is a part of the monastery and so it’s built into the Parador building.

About half way through our drive we saw a sign for the caves of Peña de Candamo. According to Google they have great prehistoric art. Unfortunately the visitors center was closed and you can only enter the caves on a tour.

We have seen hundreds of of corn cribs built in this style

At the Parador of Cangas de Onis we had our welcome drinks, played some cards, and then went for a walk about two miles up the river to the actual town of Cangas de Onis, where we stopped for coffee.

Cangas de Onis has a magnificent Roman Bridge. We crossed it and walked back to the Parador on the other side of the river.

We had a great Parador dinner.
