Santander to Santillana

Horrible night sleep the night before, my heels were killing me. Finally got to sleep about 130am after taking ibuprofen.

Awake at 6am, lights turned on at 7, started packing.  We decided to take bus to Barreda, it would cut 12 miles off our day and we really needed it.  Bottoms of my feet hurt.

We walked from Barreda to Santillana del Mar.  It started to rain about 1 mile from town. This wonderful little village was started in 850AD.  Very awesome little village.  We had lunch and headed out to find Albergue.

We found a wonderful albergue,  Solar de Hidalgos. A palace in its prime and so very cool.  Our room was on top floor, considered the attic.  It was wonderful place.

We took showers and naps. Went into town and shopped.  A tourist town, bus loads of people come every day.

Got more bandaids for my toe, got some wonderful rum raisin ice cream.  Then went back to room to rest.  Went out for dinner later, had pretty good meal with wine.

Went back to room and to bed.

We did 6.18 miles, seemed like more.

Day Seven Done!
