Coast photos

 Posted by VT

The coast line is beautiful and we feel that our photos do not do it justice.  Here are a few.  

Rocky shoreline grey sky. 
Waves rolling in crest over the rocks.  I’m determined to get a photo of this.  
Rocky shoreline.  It’s not a swimming area.  We’ve seen people in wetsuits and wellies out catching shell fish. 
Remnants of an old salt capturing vault.  

Here the water is aquamarine next to the shore.   
With the green foliage in front of the rocks and the white wave caps it’s breathtaking.  
Inlet with coast line.  City in the distance. 
Luckiest horse ever.  What a view he has.

Departure Day

 Map showing the Camino routes.   We will be walking part of Norte starting just to the left of Santander (route at top shown in red).  Just under the word Norte we will take the Primitivo route (shown as a light purple color) into Santiago de Compostela.  Our calculations show we will walk approximately 300 miles.   Today (Friday) we fly to Madrid arriving Saturday morning.  From Madrid we take a train for approximately 4 hours to Santander.  From there we’ll get a taxi to Santillana Del Mar where we will stay overnight.  On Sunday we start our walk    “We should all be grateful for the beauty of this world, but more, we should take the trouble to get off the bus of life and put the soles of our feet to the soul of the world and see those sacred sites with our own eyes”. Irish Poet.     Travel safely, travel soulfully, travel gratefully… Buen Camino.

A Wet Day

 Posted by VQT It was a constant misty drizzle all day.  We chose to just get damp instead of wearing rain gear.  From the time we started walking at 8:30 until we finally found an open cafe at 12:30 we did not see another Camino pilgrim.  At the cafe A from Germany (who we’d met the prior day) walked in and he also had not seen another Camino walker.   Walk today was through suburbia and farms.   We can always find something to entertain us or to take a photo.   Large farm horses - huge hoofs.  We’ve seen a lot of horses and farm horses.   Black tomatoes.  I googled black tomatoes and learned they are more nutritious than red tomatoes.  Can’t remember seeing black tomatoes in any of our stores.   Window framed with blue teal colored trim and a pot of red geraniums on the sill.   Garden art.  Stacked painted tires and wooden gardening clogs.  The clogs do not look very comfortable but we’ve seen them next to door...

As we neared our destination we switched to the booking app map which took us off the Camino route and up and down and all around until we lost faith in the directions   Called the hotel for help.   Estella said she’d come get us in her car and to send her a pin through WhatsApp of w...
