Galizano to Santander, 9.5 miles
Today was a total treat. First – because of the hotel mixup, we were 1+ mile already on our way. And, as a bonus, none of us bashed our heads on the rafters, so already starting off positive. Then – the day was gorgeous, a sea breeze, no clouds or rain and we walked on the edge of the bluffs above the water or on the beach all the way until we caught a ferry that took us across the bay and cut off 5 extra hours if we’d walked around.
Incredible path:
Coming to the beach leading to Santander
Ferry ride – notice the happy smiles because something is carrying us for a long way!
Santander is big, so clean, pretty modern with a few old buildings mixed in, but not many.
Last day for Carol and Matthew
We went straight to our hotel, changed, unloading our hiking shoes and went to lunch that the hotel recommended. A neighborhood place, that per usual, when with Carol and Matthew, was great. Though, confession, we’re getting a bit codded out. There’s a lot of cod in the menus here.
We then walked over to the Palace de Magdalena, a summer palace of the royals built in 1909, and is gorgeous. Of course. Then – just parked in our room letting our feet/legs recover. With the luxury of knowing that we’re not going anywhere tomorrow. A day off!
