We briefly stopped in Santander to try to sneak in a couple more beach days before we left. We arrived and the sun was out in full force, but I guess the storms had followed us as the wind was howling! Pretty crazy weather for sunbathing/swimming. We took this as a sign that maybe we should take it easy after two weeks of partying it up with Carlos, and decided to nap, relax, and call it an early night. Wandering around looking for dinner presented other plans, however, as we seemed to have stumbled into yet another fiesta. This time it was the summer solstice festival, complete with DJ, beach party, and an enormous bonfire. Our “taking it easy” plans would have to wait. A lot of the people partying on the beach were college kids, and they were killing some Kalimotxe’s (50/50 red wine & coke) by the bottle. Makes sense I guess, as wine is so cheap here. 0.75Euro wine + 0.75Euro 2 liter coke = cheap mixer to go @ 6% alcohol. And they weren’t even bothering with the travelers: just walking around with entire bottles of wine on the beach. Too bad Los wasn’t here. ;)
