It's our last day in Spain
and the
PICOS DE EUROPA
beckon.
But first we shop. Seems pig's on the menu this Christmas.
Do they use the same rear leg of each pig .. if you see what I mean?
We didn't buy piggy.
They flank our journey North, the Picos d E that is,
not pigs.
but no matter how hard we try,
we never quite got into them.
The road signs ran out, leaving us driving around steep, twisting lanes,
that went nowhere in particular.
Views were good though, don't you think?
St Vincente de la Barquera was a last lunch stop in a neat local eatery
before taking the stunning coast road from here to Santander and our ferry this evening.
Lots of campsites and rocky inlets around here.
Teddy guided us onto the ferry.
Boy was I relieved to see he'd had the decency to drape a towel over the more delicate regions of his nakedness.
A ferry can't make its own way into and out of port.
It uses a pilot
who's delivered and who then takes over from the captain and drives the ship to its' moorings.
Holiday over.
Washing to do and Christmas to sort.
No rest for the lucky.
