Northern Spain

Easter Sunday and we say our goodbyes to Hondarribia as we set off into the early morning for Santander or Gijon, ultimately depending on the wind, with a good forecast we may even continue to La Coruna.
Hondarribia was a great little spot for the first port of call in spain with warm hospitality from all we met and especially the team from 'TXIN TXIN', the local bar restuarante in the marina, Fantastic tapas, cheap beer, good music and free wifi, great!!
The white topped moutains now form the backdrop to stunning beaches and picture postcard villages as we make our way along this rugged coastline. As the wind picks up in the evening to 30kts, we decide to go into Bilbao and catch up on some sleep,
Next morning and an early start westbound, nice stiff southerly off the mountains is giving us 8/10 kts, Guinness hats on for the sunrise (a gift from a bar in Bilbao), and a nice breakfast on its way from the gally, turned out nice,,
good headway was being made untill the wind turned onto the nose at 15kts, Santander abeam looked welcoming to sit out the headwind, with the wind turning to the north on Wednesday afternoon it was a relaxing day to be had,
( no the cans stayed closed, amazing, were not that bad at 7am)
