Episode 108 - The Camino del Norte, Part 8 - Taking Another Bite Out of Asturias

The Camino del Norte offers some of the most spectacular scenery of any pilgrimage, combining rugged coastal hills, sandy beaches, spectacular cities and small fishing villages. In this series, we will virtually walk the Norte together, bringing together experienced pilgrims and relevant experts in each episode. In this eighth part of the series, we push onward from Avilés to Luarca, through a series of small towns, over the Nalón River, and beneath some massive expressway bridges. Richard DeMerchant of Victoria, BC, Canada, guides us through this section, with fond memories of a donativo albergue and time well spent with his son. All that walking will make a person hungry, so it's important to know how to refuel well, and that's where Jon Tillman, the creator of Eating Asturias (www.eatingasturias.com) comes in. Drawing upon years of culinary experience, Jon has written nearly four hundred articles on Asturian cuisine and culture, and he puts that expertise on full display in this wide-ranging conversation.
