Slow Meander down Spain to Eclipse Viewing Destination

Some dark and brooding skies.... but very temperate if humid weather.  Our travelling companions went of in such of a bus to Bilbao on a quest to visit the Gugganhiem - we went last year so were quite happy to hang out and explore the coast. Nice coves and lots of rocks for Dr Fred to get his fix....   We found quite a nice campsite - roomy pitches and quite a bit of shade. After a wander around the beach we went back to the van and I sat drawing and reading for a couple of hours...  very pleasant, relaxing, and eventually our friends arrived back from Bilbao quite late.  We sat out late eating cheese - drinking wine and celebrating our adventure.  We had a late start in the morning... I think the early day before had taken its toll - we all slept late plus, it was gloomy weather.  We packed the van up and set off for the next campsite via a place we were hoping would deliver amazing views - Alto de los Tornes... This turned out...
