For our last night in Asturias we came to Salas (📷1); this historic village offers accommodation to pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. What drew us here in a van, you might ask? Four reasons:

First, it has a highly-rated 👕 laundromat. After a little over a week on the road our attire was in need of refreshing.

Second, it was a comfortable 🗺️ distance between points-of-interest. Driving can be tiring, especially when narrow mountain roads are involved.

Third, it’s camper van/ motorhome friendly, providng free-to-use services:

🅿️ overnight legally in dedicated area
💧 potable water
💦 grey water disposal
🚾 toilet cassette emptying

Lastly, we also needed to buy 🛒 groceries. In addition to usual supplies we acquired the local specialty 🍪 biscuit, Carajitos (📷2). Available from La Casa del Profesor (est. 1918) on the main street, these soft & flavoursome hazelnut-based treats are apparently world famous in Asturias!
