Made it to Spain

Made it to Spain after a few hours of French driving and a quick boulangerie stop for a mid morning snack. I actually missed the sign saying "Welcome to Spain" (maybe there wasn't one) but once I had cleared the first Spanish town, it was onto a mix of fast single carriage roads and then onto the 634 coast road and what a road that was.
It hugged the coast and the view from the cliff tops were amazing. There is defiantly a chance I will come back and ride that road again or even if I have time at the end of this trip going back to Santander.
Only about 5 1/2 hrs and 260km today as I was looking to have a relaxing afternoon so I arrived in good time and headed down to the beach for a few hours to have a nice relaxing swim and a chill out before returning to the campsite for some grub. This is where I am tonight.
Think I am going to break my "no motorway" rule again tomorrow and use one to bypass Bilbao and Santander as I really don't fancy passing through those in Monday morning rush hour. It gets very hot on the bike when not moving fast enough to create any air flow.
