Today you might call a travel day as the walk out of Santander comprised a lot of city walking. It got more interesting as we approached Boo and then had to consider how to do the shortcut across the river. Some people suggested taking the train for one stop but the timing was wrong for us as the next train was an hour wait. So we walked across the bridge. It was not a problem as there was space on the side. As we got off the bridge freight train came and the engineer tooted and waved obviously not concerned that we had ignored the prohibido paseo sign. After passing through a number of villages we arrived at our destination town of Santillana de Mar. It was unbelievable in that it has been preserved as medieval village, at least as far as the streets building exteriors go. Functionally the businesses are mostly places to eat, sleep or buy souvenirs. There are a couple of church and museums here as well.
