We headed out of Santillana Del Mar early after drinking our instant Starbucks coffee we brought with us. We like a cup of coffee before heading out but sometimes there is no cafe open before 9:00. Maria Joseph had provided us with a tea kettle and biscuits in the room. As we headed out of town we still were amazed at how beautiful and medieval it seemed.
Shorty after we left it started raining. It was a soft rain and not too bothersome. We even saw another rainbow as the rain stopped. Soon after we left town we were walking through rural farmland. The sky turned blue and it really was a buaetiful walk so I took lots of photos.
Along the way we saw beautiful old churches, lots of grazing cows, goats and sheep, and frequent views of the blue ocean in the distance. We talked with other hikers from Northern Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, and Hungry as well as more Germans. It was one of my favorite walking days so far.
After 24 kilometers or a little more we finally made it to our destination, Comillas. We are staying in a dormitory style albergue tonight called The Magic of the Camino. They had a real washing machine. It will be so nice to have clothes that were washed by a machine. The sun was still shining brightly at 5:00 pm and we hung them on the lines to dry before heading out to check out the town and find something for dinner.
