Towards Santander

As well as the oldies we did see a nice wedding assembling outside the town hall. The bride was brought there on the handlebars of a bike by a friend. Great music was played on a super four plank glockenspiel and another guy announced her arrival with a blow on a horn.










The weather then decided to close in and we had fun dodging thunderstorms, using a rain radar app that covers Iberia and the lightning page that I frequently examine at blitzortung.org


So Saturday night was a little damp and that perhaps deterred a few revellers but it was surprising how many Spanish came to stay in their motorhomes, campers and even sleeping in their cars at the ‘aire’.

It was a great Friday / Saturday nights and on Sunday we continued the slow drive towards Santander. Yet more coffee and tapas beckoned after a steep walk down to the harbour at Elantxobe.










Later we stopped at a totally local bar/restaurant to eat the Sunday version of menu del dia which is, I think, the same as the weekday version but a little more expensive. That seems fair enough. Anyway we mixed it well with the locals and Google text translate was very handy once again.
