Whilst I was visiting the cave of Tito Bustillo in Ribadesella I took the opportunity to have a bit of a hike to see this potential World Heritage site. There are two Ichnite sites near to Ribadesella, one at then of the towns charming beach and another a few km's away up and over the cliff at Terenes. I visited both on a lovely September afternoon.

Now seems like the best time to admit; I have absolutely no idea if I have seen these footprints or not. There were signs pointing out where they were supposed to be, but like Els I couldn't really see anything that didn't look like standard eroded rocks. As such the attached picture may or may not be of some Dinosaur footprints. I did have one brief moment of excitement where I thought I had finally spotted them, but actually I think these were just mildly dinosaurian looking

However this was far from a wasted trip, I really enjoyed the climbs up and down the local cliffs and clambering all over the rocks on the shore. The surrounding landscape was very impressive, and I also managed to catch local hero Fernando Alonso winning a grand prix in a delightful bar at the top of the cliff at Terenes.

I am not sure if these sites will be added in their present format, and I have no real knowledge of Dinosaur Ichnite to say whether they are worthwhile or not. However as a casual observer I could tell you if I had seen them or not, however the coastline and town on which they were situated was very pleasant and I greatly enjoyed my afternoon of Dinosaur hunting.
