Santander to Cácares

After a rather sleepless night on the ferry, breakfast was delivered to our room at 8.30am. A pot of coffee, orange juice and a selection of pastries. We enjoyed that in the room looking out to sea and then got ready to leave. We had a couple of hours to spare before arriving at Santander so had a look around the duty free. We left empty handed which is unheard of and then headed to the lounge. I took my laptop and did a hour while Pamela caught up with messages. The scenery as we came into Santander is beautiful. We were called to get to our vehicles about 20 minutes before we docked and were out of the ferry and through passport control in no time.

We just went for it covering 570km on this run stopping only twice for supplies. The scenery is breathtaking and combined with great weather made the miles just fly by.

Of course, we have done a lot of this route before. When we were approaching the service station where we broke down last month we were determined to at least get past that point. No need to worry though, this one hasn’t missed a beat(Touch wood)!

We decided to leave ourselves just 4 hours drive to get home tomorrow so settled on Cácares. I don’t know how she does it but Pamela has picked another outstanding stay, Hotel Hospes Palacio de Arenales & Spa, Cáceres. If you’re passing by here, I can’t recommend enough.
