With 20km a pretty long leg. However, I got some beautiful views on idyllic and peaceful countrysides in exchange for the tough hike.
Blessing in disguise

I can do this, I can do this...

Portugalete

When I entered La Arena, I got me aLue lisää
Basque Country - Cantabria
28. maaliskuuta 2025, Espanja ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Staying in a hotel a bit abroad today since the standard distance to La Arena seemed a bit too short. They would definitely win the price for the ugliest bathroom furnishment in the world but I got aLue lisää
