August 11th Santa Cruz de Bezana

I walk all day with Brian. The first section was along quiet country roads, passing through one village before coming back to the coast. 
It was a nice clifftop walk with two sandy bays and plenty of surfers.
Santander came in site and after coming past the headland into the large natural harbour, we had a long beach walk to the small resort of Somo.
There were hundreds of people being taught to surf on this section.
From Somo it was a passenger ferry ride across to a crowded Santander.
It was slow going getting away from the centre and tedious walking through the suburbs to an old albergue set by busy roads and industrial buildings.
It was hot, there was are supermarket nearby, and a.load of people I had met before. So with space in the garden to sleep outside I wad happy to stay.
Yoko, a.Japanese woman gave me a welcome foot massage, then proceeded to give others the same.
We had a communal meal in the evening with plenty of red wine.
