Lourdes was bustling again when we left, so many hotels, so many shops, so many nuns, so many nurses, so many old people, so many people in wheelchairs ... you get the picture.
From Lourdes we headed for the Basque country. We had originally planned to stay at San Sebastian but as it was weekend prices were really high so we chose Santander instead, opting for three nights to use as a base to further explore the Basque area.
We did stop for lunch at San Sebastian and it was obvious why it is so popular. It had a lovely large crescent shaped beach that wasn't as crowded as we'd seen on many other European beaches, and had some great seaside walks in both directions from the beach.
Our accommodation in Santander was a little way out of town, just across the road from a really nice beach with a good restaurant nearby, where we could get a view of the ocean and beach while sipping on a sangria or two. This seemed like a good choice for a stay of a few days as it wasn't too busy and very pretty.
