The Return
We had an OK night’s sleep despite the flies – citronella candle for Christmas please. We packed up and got the van ready for the off. I then started to research where to go and stock up with wine as we have a whole van to possibly fill. Disaster, It’s Spain , they all shut […]
Santander – the final countdown …
For a final day, we planned to explore another part of Santander. This mainly consisted of a walk along the three beaches of El Sardinero, a look at the Magdalena peninsula and a nice late typically Spanish lunch! The walk from the campsite to the beaches was great as there was a lovely shady park […]
Disappearing ways
After a dodgy night’s sleep, we packed up the van ready for our next adventure. The rain in the night had brought the mozzies out and our new neighbours in the campsite, four 20 something ladies, had been up chatting loudly until 1 pm. This is very much against campsite etiquette, especially given the number […]
San Vicente culture fix!
There was a lot of rain overnight, that made for a poor nights sleep. We left the blind off the front window so that we could get a good view of the town across the estuary. Having spent several days now just relaxing, we decided that it was time for another culture fix! We had […]
San Vicente de La Barquera
We woke to the sound of rain – quite heavy rain!! As a result, we abandoned the idea of a final morning swim and decided to head straight for Llanes where we planned to look around before heading to our next stop of San Vicente de la Barquera. The next campsite, Camping El Rosal, is […]
Day 3 of pure relaxation
The weather was looking good today, so we thought we would have another day of pure relaxation. We went for a swim from the beach, as you can see it is right next to our pitch, just down a short path nicely curated by the campsite. We we were one of the first ones on […]
What a Rubbish Market
So we got up with a mission, to attend the market in Potes. It seems to have a certain level of fame and had been mentioned by a few people, so we decided to support the local community and go to it, aiming to buy all of our food there for the next couple of […]
Day two of pure relaxation.
So we got up in a leisurely fashion and had bread toasted with jam and peanut butter for breakfast. We then went and tried out the newly filled swimming pool. We donned our trendy swimming hats and took the plunge. We had the pool entirely to ourselves, and it was fantastic as we were surrounded […]
Washing Day
After our “moderate” 16km walk we had a day off. Sue got her laundry fix and I rested my aching knee. We could have gone for a swim in the newly opened pool but even that was too much effort. However, we did buy swimming hats ready for tomorrow! We had a nice chat in […]
El teleférico de Fuente Dé
We finished off the cake from La Guardia for breakfast and then headed off early for our cable car ride. There were already loads of people there when we got there at 9:30. We were glad to have booked in advance because we got to go to the front of the queue and scan a […]
