Cantabria and Basque Country (continued)

 
The next morning, we continue to discover this rocky coast.
 
 
1. The ocean passes through the limestone crevices to create this small lake about three hundred feet from the coast. The swell makes the water move, a rather unusual effect!
 

 
 
2. Another arch.
 

 
 
3. The coast towards West from a small peninsula.
 

 
 
4. And one more arch.
 

 
 
5. There are only a few days left before the end of the vacation, we are heading back east. Abandoned farm along the road…
 

 
 
6. Church near the village of Niembru.
 

 
 
7. We sleep on a surf spot near San Vincente de la Barquera, with beautiful colors at sunset.
 

 
 
8. …
 

 
 
9. …
 

 
 
10. VivaLaVida among surfer campers.
 

 
 
11. First light at dawn…
 

 
 
12. We continue our route in the Basque Country and make a short stop at the Hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. It’s so crowded that it’s not possible for us to go down because all tickets for the day have been sold.
 

 
 
13. Church with covered passageways…
 

 
 
14. Main door.
 

 
 
15. Another known spot where we find these layered rocks which have tilted to offer their slices to the ocean, in Zumaia. You don’t see it ont the picture but to my left, there is a beach with probably an average of 1 human per square feet! 😀
 

 
 
16. My son in discovery mode.
 

 
 
17. Layered cliff…
 

 
 
I will still have one last update to publish in a few days to close the story of this summer trip… See you soon! 😉
