I went into Santander after my last post to check it out. Had a long walk as only parking space I found was a way out of town. Grabbed an ice cream- which I have to say was really good, possibly better than San Seba- but much less choice of flavours. Sanatnder seemed nice in the centre.
Got to Liencres the next day before day break- excited obviously. However I was to be dissapointed since it was slightly messy. Got in anyway but it was nothing special so got out fairly promptly. Headed into Santander parking was a problem. I soon realised I parked somewhere which seemed a bit dodge so didn't spend long in town. Got another ice cream- not directly from the chain but from a bakery and portions were not as generous. Also grabbed some Jamon from the market.
Headed down to San Vicente. Had a surf there but it was small and a bot choppy so didn't catch too much. Went into the town there which was great. Saw the same ice cream chain had an outlet there and grabbed another. Walked up to the Castle and enjoyed the weather. There was also a pull up bar- so got a few reps out.
From then on drove hot the motorway with a brief side track to the base of the Picos and to see some cows.
Onwards towards Gijon. The view from the motorway of the mountains was awesome- really scenic drive.
Stopped in Vega which is a nice village, with beach where I had a fun surf in some smallish waves. Really great setting with views of the mountains and quite quiet.
Now in Gijon, which is massive- bigger than I remember. Just got some Jeans from El Corte Ingles and hopefully get some dinner in soon. Am on Spanish time.
WIll have to get the ferry back to France tomorrow afternoon.
