Enough with the Sans already!

This weekend, it was San Vicente de la Barquera (San Vin for short). Clarisse, one of Emja's two close Frenchies kindly drove us along the beautiful coastal road to the western border of a region Cantabria to San Vin. The road took us past Santillana del Mar and Gaudi's Capricho (Cazrock - the only Gaudi edifice outside of the Catalan area [aka Barcelona]).

We had intended to actually finally dip our feet in the Atlantic by hiring some surfboards but the 12 degree water temps kept us high and dry. Instead, we checked out the castle and church on the hill in San Vin, and filled ourselve senseless on the local menu del dia.

Anyone for major testicle shrinkage? No?

Time to knuckle down this week, with 10 hours of teaching English conversation at uni, and lots of new grammar to be alearning. This Friday I'm off to the Picos de Europa, to a church which houses a part of the 'True Cross'... If it's not the real thing, I will be truly cross. What?
