Noja, Cantabria
Hosteria Dos Laureles
Out of Laredo and after a stretch of sidewalk walking along the coast, I crossed over to Santoña by ferry...
...with, among others, a threesome and a dog...
...then passed houses along the beach...
… to the beginning of a climb over this hill.
I realize it doesn’t look very daunting. But it was so treacherous and dangerous that the expert walker I spoke to next (see Hank below) told me he hadn’t taken pictures for fear of falling off the edge.
But I really wanted a record of this part of the walk (and am grateful to be telling you about it).
On the other side, I was so relieved to see the beach and know that I was on the way down.
Still, caution was imperative until I got down to the nude beach (…with nothing very interesting to report).
On the way into town, I met Hank from the Netherlands.
He had walked several Caminos and also the Via Francigena which I too had walked in 2017.
After such a dramatic day of walking, I was relieved to settle into my little Hosteria, so comfortable and welcoming.
Nude beach!
