Back to Ribadeo for lunch and then, back in our train, we will head to Luarca, the Villa Blanca of the Costa Verde. Arrival, visit, dinner and stay overnight.
Day 4, Tuesday Luarca – Gijón

While we enjoy our last breakfast on our train we will arrive in Oviedo, Capital of the Principality of Asturias. There we will say goodbye to our train and its wonderful crew.
