Monday, July 20th.Arriving in Spain and getting to the start of ourride.

After an excellent dinner on board the ferry we slept we slept well on our bunk beds, and we're up for a leisurely breakfast, giving us just enough time to pack before disembarkation at Santander. Lovely sunny summer day.

Su and other cyclists leaving ferry at Santander.

The next bit of the journey is by coach along the hilly north coast of Spain. We have booked on to the 1700, and have been told we need to pack our bikes. Checked our luggage into Left Luggage and time for a Pinchos lunch and a walk round town.

Here we are about to board our coach

And putting our bikes together at the other end!

We stayed the night in an AirBnB where Sandra, who spoke no English looked after us well using a voice driven translator program on her phone.  Three course meal, a bottle and a half of wine, two bottles of mineral water and coffees - €25.
