Santillana West

Tourist attraction we skipped; we spent a couple days in

Santillana del Mar, visiting Altamira, awaiting the DHL

delivery, exploring; Jean-Paul Sartre wrote that Santillana

del Mar was the most beautiful village in Spain; I'd disagree,

but then I have not seen them all

Our first bull...these billboard things are all over Spain,

originally part of an advertising campaign ("Eat Beef or Die"),

but now part of the countryside and national identity

The DHL package, with my new improved international

drivers license (thank you, Rebecca), finally arrived at 2PM

Friday, so we decamped and headed west along the coast,

getting as far as an aire at Playa de Santa Maria del Mar;

this was part of the view

The beach itself, typical of the coastline along here
