Second Course

Merluza, or Hake as we know it in English.

First Course

No one is going hungry tonight!

San Vicente

Tonight and tomorrow we are staying by the sea in San Vicente. Great
view from the rooms in the Residencia Miramar! In the distance note the
Picos de Europa, where we will be spending the day tomorrow.

Gypsum Windows

Note the gypsum windows in the church. Great to see an example of
this, as we discussed the importance of the Keuper gypsum for this to
the Romans, and the subsequent collapse of that mining industry when
glass became widely available.

Santillana del Mar

A cultural stop to finish off the day in Santillana del Mar. A
picturesque little medieval town.

Refreshment

Nothing like a cold Coke for a break from a hot day on the beach.

Fractures in Pillows

Notice the radial fractures in the massive pillow basalt.
