Day 5: March 22, 2018
Rural life in the north of Spain.....
It was a freezing morning by the time we left Pamplona for Cantabria, and after three and a half hours we arrived at Santillana del mar, a medieval little town full of charm and cobbled streets. A couple of hours was enough to get to know the local food and little corners of this village. After that it was only a short drive up the road to visit the ancient caves of Altamira, the world’s first discovered caves of prehistorical art, with a very interesting guided tour from Eugenia. We then went back to the bus and checked into our hotel by the city of Suances for a swim and some dinner.....and it’s up onto the mountains tomorrow
