After a quick change of plans due to the cold weather and rain we opted for a small old walled town on the northern coast just west of Santander.
The weather didnt improve and after arriving late afternoon on a Sunday only to find the town was famous for its caves.. which had closed for the day and were also closed Monday!! Not good planning on our part but I guess thats life for the inexperienced traveller.
The town itself was nice and we did do a walk around the once again, cobbled streets and walled town.. would have been great for pictures IF the weather had improved but alas we were out of luck. We stayed in a hotel which from the outside didn't look the best.. weeds in the garden etc BUT we were pleasantly surprised to find the rooms were meticulously clean and the owner was very friendly AND spoke good English.
We did however try Paella at the local and asked for a glass of red wine only to receive a litre of white.. I ask you!!
The torrential rain continued all night and the following day we left for Portugal.
