Labor Day: Comillas to San Vicente de la Barquera, Tuesday, May 1

Post by Wynette: We walked 8 easy miles today. May 1 is a Spanish national holiday, Día del Trabajador, Day of the Worker. Luckily for us tourists, restaurants and hotels are open. But nothing much else. We got to walk the last mile on a long sandy beach on the way into San Vicente. We saw lots of people out enjoying the beautiful sunny day. Above photo was where we stopped for breakfast: fried eggs and coffee and toast. We’ve found that most bars are happy to make eggs for us. The cute bartender said, in pretty good English, if you are hungry, we’ll do it for you. No one ever asks how we want them cooked and they always make them perfectly.
