Halfway through the week we took a minibus to the nearby historic town of Llanes. It has two little beaches but not much of a seaside character.

The fishing boats at Llanes are now mostly recreational |
The town supposedly dates back to medieval merchants and was reinvigorated in the early 20th century as traders returned with fortunes from America. There was clearly quite a building boom with many shops and residential buildings showing Arts & Crafts echos.

I've found the pool cold but today managed 20 lengths (they were really short ones). There was a shock both on entry and when I started a length and my face hit the water. This latter effect is fairly well known as the
diving reflex and the principle effect is
bradycardia.
