| In Luarca, Spain |
From Bilbao we headed off and followed the Spanish northern coast westward. We drove through Santander and got out to take in the beautiful scenery. As we were driving down the boulevard, a Mercedes Benz pulled up next to us and the driver motioned to open our window. With a South African accent, he asked, “Are you coming from or going to Cape Town?” He even invited us to lunch if we had time. Sadly we had to pass on his offer as we were shooting to get as close as possible to Portugal today. But we sure enjoyed receiving some genuine South African hospitality in Europe!
From there we drove on to Luarca because there was a sign for a beach and we wanted to get a glimpse of some sand and water. But after driving on back roads - no beach! Bummed, we started to look for camping as sunset was approaching. In the process, we found the beach! It was serene and Tash got to get her sand. We spent some time there, just enjoying the moment. On our way back to the town, we picked up some groceries - including some spicy chorizo! After some help from the locals, we eventually found an open campsite nearby with a beautiful view of the beach. I think we are only one of three groups of campers here, so it is as if we had our own private overlook of the water directly from our camping spot. Perfect for our first night of camping!
