Pobena to Castro Urdiales 18k

We had a fantastic end to yesterday.  Dinner with our new Italian friends Silvio and Antonio in the bar behind the Albergue.  What great guys.  We laughed plenty last night.  The bar owner had a great time too supplying us with wine and chupitos (Spanish liqueur - not sure of the spelling for that).  It was one of those Camino nights.

Camino nights turn into Camino day's and after breakfast at the bar we headed out on a very cool (12 deg. C) and cloudy day.  After a short climb up 120 steps we turned into some beautiful scenery.  After the last few days of being inland we hit the coast again late yesterday but today we were in for a treat.  We walked for the first part of today high up on a pathway around the headlands.  It was very picturesque.  Then we walked a few km's on the road before we were back walking the headlands with the views.  Eventually arriving at Castro Urdiales.  We've had a very large lunch and decided to work it off sitting in the laundromat doing a wash.  Ah! The simple life.
