We went to the famous Caves today, Tito de Bastillo (google it) named after the mountaineer who discovered them back in 1968. 14,000 to 20,000 years old they found in '68 some old paintings of horses, bison, deers and sexual (they say) carvings and pictures. It was originally a river and you can still here the old rivers in the background when entering the caves. The river is called San Miguel ! Beer.... Anyway they are called after Tito cos he died weeks later after the discovery. It was pretty damp and cold in there but the stalactites and stalacmites were absolutely amazing, I'd recommend anyone to go to this but go to the museum first to find out all the details, as the tour in the caves is in Spanish. I understood some of it but the guide translated some of the facts for Bill.
So, a gin and tonic later we are contemplating our next restaurant for a meal tonight as the one last night although good was a bit expensive at 68 Euros. There are many good ones here we just need to select something not on the sea front.
Did a lot of walking today on the west side of the river and saw some lovely architecture and tomorrow we a going to have a look at the small Oceanside beach not far away, but it could be a
bit of a climb.
This is a lovely hotel but at 140E a bit steep for us
This beach must be heaving in the summer. There are alot of places closed, obviously holiday homes.
The Marina. I heard recently that they don't allow visitors from abroad (not very friendly, which is something I am surprised about)
And again this lovely hotel
So anyway very happy to stay here again although the weather is supposed to deteriorate, but positive heads on.
