Cares Gorge.
The road from P de V to Cain is not for the faint hearted, hairpin bends, 1 in 10 hills and narrow, but take your time and its OK, but don't expect to do any more the 2nd gear and 30 kph.
In Cain there are a great number of parking places and resturants, lets face it there is only on reason to be here, the Cares Gorge walk.
After parking up we headed into the gorge, the firt part goes through a number of tunnels hewn out of the rock with handrails on the open parts, a contrast to the rest of the walk, no handrails an vertical drops.
The whole walk is 11 km to Poncebos, we did not intend to do it all as there is only a 135 km road journey or walk back and 22 km is a bit much for us. After about 4 km we decided to head back, the scenery, although stunning at first, becomes the norm and the precipitous edges to the path cause a constant stress and it is very tiring.
Retracing our steps we arrive back at the van for a quick lunck before heading back down the road to P de V and then on to Cangas de Onis.
