Puente Romano Cangas de Onis

... grotto. Nothing like a statute of the BVM with water coming out of the mountain to draw us Catholics out from every nook and cranny. The herd of goats that usually blocks Paul's entry into churches was nowhere to be found here.....so maybe it's a good sign. Don't send a Catholic jihad after me, now, just making light of a fun time!

About "the Christians getting nasty" part. This is apparently ...

... saying. We were at La Playa Franca and it was BEAUTIFUL!! I call it “where the mountains meet the sea”. I have never seen anything like that before, so it was very amazing to me. The mountains were literally going into the sea. We spent an hour taking pictures and exploring and just soaking in all of the beauty.

The rest is just said with pictures.....

... the mountains following the river Cares. Although it is only possible to see the river occasional due to it being too far below the path it is possible to hear it. The walk is about 24 kilometers there and back. Approx 16 miles. We have never been on such a spectacular walk. The path clings to the cliff face hundreds of meters above the gorge and burrows through solid rock. It is very difficult to describe adequately.

Tomorrow 2 10 09 we move on.

... We rolled into San Sebastian around 10 to find the office closed!! Fortunately, they had only stepped away for a break and after setting up we sat by the camper and enjoyed some rose and regular port. 

         

... de ahora,y Susana Viso.

Mientras resolvía estos últimos asuntos Amparo, Favila, Iñigo y Pablo están en casa terminando de hacer las maletas y ultimando detalles para poder salir hacia Bilbao. Donde recojeremos a nuestros compañeros de viaje y seguiremos hasta San Sebastian, donde visitaremos algunas cosas y luego terminaremos el día durmiendo en Irun.

... windows keep in very dark. One morning we all sleep in until after 9.

We venture to the next village and explore a medieval church and castle which was part of the Atlantic Pilgrims Route to Santiago de la Compostela. We pass a number along the road still walking. They all have wooden sticks, backpacks and look exhausted. I think this route would be a lot more interesting then the one that goes inland which seems to be more open and ...

... former which makes you think the speaker was trying to convince not only you but themselves about what they were saying while overusing the latter defeats the purpose of the word.   
The artist that took up essentially (like what I did there?) the whole museum was Cai Guo Qiang, a total pyro.  The entry exhibit was eight cars, one on the ground and seven forming a vertical circle in mid-flight after being "blown up".  Those in the air had fifty or so strands of light ...

... where there was a tiny town/village: Population 10. I kid you not. Not sure how they are considered real towns, but they each had about 10 people in it with several tourists. Ironically, the town had about 4 bars. Didn't make too much sense to me. Neverthless, the views of jagged cliffs and cloud-filled skies were unbelievable. Some of us took a little hike up the other village and snapped some pictures. Solid day. When we got back to the hotel, some of us took a walk along ...

... road follows the riverbank through alpine meadows and then through amazing gorges, some, like the Desfiladero de los Beyos, narrow to about 20 feet wide, with cliffs towering above and the river far below. When the gorges open out there are views of the high Picos, at this end up to and over 2,500 metres (8,000 ft), jagged limestone crags with snow in the crevasses. We went as far as the Puerto del Ponton, the head ...

... in the Basque countries. It is said once you seen the bullring you see Pamplona. Well, once you see the ocean you see San Sebastián. It is a city molded around the crescent bay of La Concha. From the air it looks like a horseshoe. Part Basque, part French and part Spanish, though posters remind you where you are: "Tourist remember. You are not in Spain, you are in the Basque Countries". The city's flats and houses are elegant ...
