Back at the Beach after a Few Days Inland

Post by Wynette: Here is where we are tonight. Kind of like a US motel. Unusual here. But on a quiet highway. Below is view from our little balcony patio, which, unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use for our picnic dinner because it started raining. There is a sandy beach there in the little cove where we’ll start on the Camino tomorrow.

Santillana del Mar to Playa de Luaña, Sunday, April 29

Post by Wynette: We had a beautiful day of walking. Pretty and interesting the whole 8.7 miles. Some views of sea about a half mile away, and then ending at the playa (beach). Gorgeous sunny yet cool weather. All on mostly quiet roads. Quite a bit of steep up and down. It didn’t bother us nearly as much as similar days did the first week of our trip. I think we are getting stronger.

We have been enjoying all the cows.

Church in the Field

Post by Wynette: The church was unusual in that it was in a field away from town. Usually churches are in the middle of town, crowded by other buildings. Was lovely to see it this way. They enticed us in with beautiful recorded music (Ave Maria). That was strange too because most churches we have passed are closed up tight. More photos:
