It was finally time to leave Santander.

The city was not the easiest place to navigate out of.  The old Garmin got very confused.  I knew that I had travel on a ‘National’ road, but the Garmin kept on wanting to take me on to a Freeway.

I had a paper map, and ended up using it exclusively.  I was later to meet some English cyclist who would had found it difficult navigate out of the city.

Into Santona

My planned destination was the seaside town of Santona.

The combination of hills and traffic made it a fairly tough ride.

It was late when I made my way across a series of bridges into the town.  The camp site was quite a way out of the town.  It turnout out to be next to a prison.  This a fishing seemed to the main industries in the town.

Wales Beaten  

After setting up my tent I headed along the beach looking for a place to eat. The restaurant I found was large, but had only a couple of customers.  There seemed to be a lot of people in the campsite and the street, but no one seemed to need, or want, to eat in the restaurant.

As I ate I watched Wales being beaten by Portugal in the football.
