So the journey begins:<\/h3>\n

We set off from Wales on Friday evening leaving behind the nice welsh, rainy weather. An 8 hour drive saw us parked up in Portsmouth waiting for the ferry, which is scheduled to leave at 8:45, so not long! After a few hours kip and an easy boarding we were off: Spain here we come.<\/p>\n

The ferry crossing was calm, and I mean really calm, you\u2019ve hear the saying \u2018Like a mill pond\u2019 well it really was, couldn\u2019t have wished for a better start to our trip.<\/p>\n

Santander came into sight around 2pm local time Sunday, and what a great looking city with old and new buildings lining the waters edge, people swimming, sailing and generally enjoying themselves on the beach, we must come and visit.<\/p>\n

Today though we\u2019re scheduled to visit  Ribadesella, a small fishing town about 100 miles West of Santander popular with surfers, as is all this area of coast, we\u2019ve got 3 nights booked into a camp site to get acclimatised and some provisions.<\/p>\n

Dom\u2019s shopping list: 6 pot Noodles, Bread, Ketchup, a box of Twinkies and a case of beer: personally I think he\u2019s got the quantities for beer and pot noodle the wrong way round, but hey, each to his own.<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed was the good Spanish roads, I\u2019m not sure what I expected, but the roads so far have been great.<\/p>\n

The campsite: Camping Playa Sauces has clean showers with hot water and it\u2019s a 5 minute walk from the beach and town there\u2019s also an onsite bar which does food so happy days.<\/p>\n

The Beach: Long and sweeping with some nice waves and plenty of people surfing, although a bit calm in this picture.<\/p>\n

\"Ribadesella<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we\u2019re heading a bit further west to find some more beaches while the weather\u2019s still good, mind you it was a bit cool yesterday, I\u2019m sure it dropped below 23! For those of you who don\u2019t know Wales that\u2019s still hot to us from Wales!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So the journey begins: We set off from Wales on Friday evening leaving behind the nice welsh, rainy weather.
