Feature
or Monasterio de Corias, and
this one got my attention. I'm not
much of a history buff, but when
you're staying inside a building
that was built over a thousand
years ago, it's truly amazing.
The rooms are the old cells that
the monks lived in a thousand
years ago. The wood on the
staircases is worn into grooves
where the monks went up and
down millions of times. The walls
are four feet thick, and you can
sense the monks' spiritual pres-
ences as you walk the massive
hallways. This was where we
spent our last night in Spain, as
the next day we rode that same
beautiful twisty canyon again on
our way back to meet the ferry
and the end of our tour.
In total, this tour covers over
1500 miles in eight days of rid-
ing. If you love to ride and sight-
seeing is secondary, this tour is
for you. I thoroughly enjoyed not
only the riding but meeting new
people from a faraway place with
Crossing the Embalse Barrios De Luna just outside of León.
Our guide takes us
though the gorge
along the Rio Sil.
Dramatic scenes
like this awaited us
around every turn
as we made our way
through the gorge.
