…I think My blog limits words….😁
….so back to Santander. Ok the beaches are great and the city is pretty good too. We stayed in a neighborhood close to Old Town. What we love about Most Spanish towns are the vibrant city centers. Starting around 6:00 the townspeople- of all ages come out – for a beverage, to stroll, to talk, or to play. We see a bazillion dogs. And most wear their best clothes. Groups will talk – for 60-120 minutes – then head home. That is the purpose of one of my photos to show this vibrant aspect of Spanish culture.
The photo with the escalator…crazy & amazing. This escalator is next to the street and is the neighborhood way back from old town. There was a series of about 6 of these to our neighborhood at the top. Pretty sweet.
The last photo is from a vantage point tower in our neighborhood with sweeping views. Santander is on a peninsula so we had views of the bay & port in 1 direction and the open sea in the other direction. Children playing soccer/futbol were below us.
Our hotel is historic with Spanish guests – a good glimpse into everyday life.
