På vej ind i Luarca skal du holde en pause for at beundre fem af dens fineste Casas de los Indianos; umiddelbart på caminoen ligger villaerne Excelsior, Cristina, Rosario, Argentina og Barrera.

Da det er en flodby, ligger monumenterne, strandene og overnatningsstederne i Luarca på begge sider; det er en kroget flod, og der er flere steder, man kan krydse den. Som sædvanlig er de bedste udsigter en vandretur væk til landtangen, hvor du finder faroen (fyrtårnet) og Capilla de la Atalaya.

Fiesta

Festen for Nuestra Señora del Rosario fejres den 15. august, og San Timoteo fejres den 22. august.

The Road

Når vi forlader Luarca, stiger caminoen en smule og snor sig op ad bakke gennem en boligudvidelse af byen. Vejen retter sig ud og flader ud, og caminoen følger den hele vejen til Otur. Den krydser N-634 undervejs, og når den passerer gennem Otur (som ligger på N-634), gør den det syd for byen.

Camino de Sant… (ikke efterprøvet)

I had to stay because I had to wait for a package but very glad it was in this friendly city. Stayed in Hotel Rico, highly recommended! The city has a beautifull big church and cemetery uphull, another cute chapel with an overview of the town, beautiful large botanical garden and nice trail to walk. Loved to be here for some days

Unfortunately, we heard from the other donativo owners that Casa Lua is closed (don’t know if that’s permanent but as of April 2023 it’s not open at the moment)

We are so glad we stopped to stay at Casa Lua, about 2 km after Luarca. Oscar, Lua, and their dogs welcomed us into their home and made us feel at home. The dorm was simple and clean, what really stood out was the delicious dinner, delightful conversation and welcoming atmosphere. This place is the magic stuff of the Camino.

There is a lovely donativo albergue about 1 hr walking from Luarca. It’s called Casa Lua and well worth the stop. Lovely hospitaleros and a fabulous dinner. Opens at 3. Highly recommend.

We recommend the lavanderia City Sec Avenida de Galicia that cost the same and the guy did a really good job.

Camino de Sant…

Don’t miss this cute little town. Book ahead at the albergue or it’s €30 for one person at Oria Hostal with shared bathroom and own room.

Although no self-service laundromat features on any map search in Luarca, I found one near La Pelu De Isa in Luarca. €5 for a wash and €3 for a dry.
