Guemese to Santander, 05/28/25

Today was the final walking day of this particular trip. Started out with an hour or so on the road but then around some spectacular beaches. After a few miles of that, a ferry over to Santander. There was a bit of a long wait for the ferry as the tide was initially too low for it to get in. They have the front of the Ferry covered in tires and the just run it up to a stair case at whatever height and you walk on. Works quite well. Santander seems to be fairly spread out and it is not particularly easy to figure out what to do or where to go. After enquiring with 3 different people I finally got a hint as to where a cluster of restaurants might be. I had thought about spending an extra night here but given the timing of travel I ended up booking the quickest bus to San Sebastián, just under 3 hours, and night there, which will make the travel a little less of a marathon. So, adding up all the steps registered from last Thursday until today, 176,166! Seems like a pretty solid week especially when you consider that I was carrying a loaded pack most that time. Finishing segments is always a little bittersweet, but I am quite sore and ready to get home. The plan at the moment is San Sebastián tomorrow, Bayonne on Friday and then train to Paris on Saturday with flight back to Seattle on Wednesday.
