Jose and Dani
Santander is about 2 and a half hours from San Sebastian by bus in the State of Cantabria. It´s a fishing town that has been pretty much rebuilt since a huge fire leveled nearly all the town in 1941.

Dani and Jose took me for a tour of the coast nearby for the first day and on the next we visited Santillana del Mar. This is a medieval village that has strict planning rules and has lovely preserved bulidings and cobblestone streets.

We also visited Comillas further along the coast. It has some interesting sights such as the Capricho de Gaudi, one of Gaudi´s earlier works, and no where near as famous as his works in Barcelona.

Also in Comillas is the Palaccio de Sobrellano, a summer house of the Marques de Comillas.
I´m off to the Pyrenees for 7 days of trekking solo as of tomorrow, so will post another Blog entry in about a week and a bit... that´s if I don´t slide off a Glacier!!
