At Caravanning Oyambre, near Comillas (where the Gaudi house is), we wandered down to the local beach during the evening. Here there are many camper-vans and a surf scene. The site behind the beach isn't very highly recommended and we were happy in ours, a 15 minute walk away. It was the night of the full moon and we made the most of it whilst down there. Then, with the weather holding for a fine evening, we cooked outside for what will be the last time for a few months. We chatted to Brits coming into Spain and staying here for their first night or two. It's surprising how many are coming, even late in the season.

Then, just a few metres on, there’s a breach in the limestone and the sea gets through. In fact there are several holes through the cliff and the waters from the high tide push their way through the rock and onto an inland beach. It’s a spectacular scene, as the waters appear lit...
