The Coast of Cantabria

 On Sunday September 14 I got to walk on some beautiful beaches, mile after mile of them.

We were headed to Santander, and when we got there lots of pilgrims were in line to catch the ferry to cross the bay heading west.

Here’s some beach photos I took before we reached the ferry. These are small towns with big surfing communities. There are parking places filled with camper vans and people hanging out.

The city in the distance is Santander. Here’s a shot looking down from rocky hill we had to climb over to get to the next beach.

And here is a good reminder that I’m not in Kansas anymore, a very private, nude beach. (We were walking along the cliff overlooking the beach. No telephoto lenses)

Tonight I am sleeping in a private house, on my way to a town called Santillana del Mar, where I will stay in an old convent. Last night I stayed at a beautiful Albergue way out in the country. So I am staying at a lot of different kinds of pilgrim accommodations. Buenas noches.
