Portugalete

After 10 days we finished our Camino de Santiago, was in Portugalete: really picturesque city with Puente Colgante.


What's interesting, our new destination was still Santiago de Compostela but we have to be there in 2 days , not in 3 weeks so we had to hitchhike. The worst thing was (as always) leave the city and get to highway. We were waiting more or less one hour for the lift. During this time one Old Lady came to us and say: "Spanish people are not use to hitchhikers, nobody will take you...You didn't know? You should go to bus station and buy tickets or to airport" then we tried to explain to her that it was NOT our first time hitchihiking in Spain so she shouldn't be worry. After few minutes she went away , kept saying "Nobody will take you, nobody will take you". After three minutes Old Gentleman stopped and took us to the highway. From patrol station took us really peaceful and kind marriage. They invited us to go with them to the wild beach which was on the way. There we had some picnic all together and then we took a rest. Great time! Then they left us near to Santander and we decided to spend the night on the beach:)
