Words and Pictures

We expect a fantastic day. The crisp autumn weather is at its best, and the prospect to drive over the mountains and then descent towards the Atlantic is an exciting one.

Riaño

It is confirmed. We have a fantastic drive over the Cantabrian Mountains/Picos de Europa. We stop at Riaño (Coffee but couldn’t get anything to eat) and Potes (a late lunch, at last) along the N-621.

Santander

We came to Santander and so did the fog. Again I had a lovely evening walk in a fine and naturally wonderful, large city.
