Olla de San Vincente

Today we took a drive out to Olla de San Vincente. It was another hours ride in the car. You take the N-625 towards Cangas de Onis. Take the sign heading towards Puerto del Ponton. After about 6kms you reach the village of Tornin. Once through Tornin, there is a restaurant and a bridge, you can park here and start your walk.

The beginning of the walk is the point of where the River Dobra meets the River Sella. The walk to the Olla is about 2.5kms so at a slow pace it should take around 30-40 minutes. The path itself follows the river and is very rocky underfoot, occasionally slippy too. It's best to wear trainers or hiking boots with a good grippy sole. There are some areas which are narrow and we had to hold hands in order to help each other across.

Once at the Olla (pot) it was lovely. A pebble cove, emerald water and views of the mountains. A great place just to chill and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. We had a dip (it was freezing!). We took a picnic and stayed for a couple of hours and then headed back, stopping for an ice cream in Cangas.

Love exploring what's on my doorstep! It's a wonderful world we live in!

It was cold but she still managed a smile!
