Things got a bit out of order...here are some pix from the road between San
Sebastian and Santillana del Mar, via Guernica. The problem we had getting LPG--with an emptying tank and freezing weather--distracted us from stopping at the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Oh well, next time; above, the north
coast, utterly spectacular, snowy mountains on the left, beautiful cliffs and
beaches on the right |
 |
Approaching the small town of Llanes (I think)
|
 |
As I said, snowy mountains on the left; by this time, we had scrapped our
notions of driving to Madrid (across these mountains), but rather to await our DHL package in Santillana and then cling to the warmer coast, all the way west to Santiago de Compostuela |
 |
The Basque north coast is Spain's heavy industry belt, and
here we saw gigantic plants, warehouses, infrastructure
construction rivaling what we saw in China a year ago; this
is the beginning of what I think is the largest (by acreage)
building I have ever seen
|
 |
Other end of the same building, a mile or so down the road
|
 |
Bridges and other infrastructure going up everywhere
|
 |
Largest quarry I have ever seen (well except maybe Carrara)
|
 |
When the driving gets too unnerving, Vicki occasionally picks up the camera
to distract herself; most of the pix are unusable blurs, but I think this one has artistic merit |
