SEPTEMBER 25- ESCALANTE

Not the easiest day but the most enjoyable so far. We climbed a long hill from 5-8% grade about 1400 feet. It was rainy but fewer cars due to being Sunday. We were treated to a double rainbow coming out of Castro Urdiales and a lot of pretty views along the way. We rode through some small towns on the way to Laredo where we stopped for cafe con leche and a beer. There was some kind of festival going on with many people dressed up in costumes. We rode a long the beach to a little ferry that we took across to Santona and then a short pretty ride to our pension In Escalante. About 22 miles today.
