Sunday 28th May - Up to Santander - 410 km (trip total 6178 km)

The end was in sight, not that I really wanted it to be! Today would be the last day of riding before the ferry back to the UK. A longish run up to Santander.



Loveley breakfast in the B&B with a nice chatty waitress and then it was off along the cobbles thorugh the village of Candeliro.


And through the curvy roads of the Sierra de Gredos.



Before picking up wthe highway running north to the coast.



There were quite a few tunnels on the way, but otherwise the run was uneventful.

Before long we hit Santander and after spending a while circuiting the one way system, checked in for the last time. A great find this B&B, half way up the hill behind Santander in a residential area. It had a small underground garage (reached by a lift ) and fantastic views from the rooms at the front.

I did a double take when I went into mine, thinking someone was actually sitting on the wall.


A pelasant evening was spent wandering the streets of Santander.

Ferry tomorrow!
