It's flipping warm. It's still 38c here.
Just booked a hotel in Somo for tomorrow night, it's closer to Santander than I wanted, but the beach looks nice.

Re: The Pyrenees/Northern Spain
Somo is great. The beach is huge. The wife had a dip in the sea, so that's the med and the Atlantic in one trip.
The roads started to get interesting again as we headed north west.
At one point we passed though a little Alpine looking village in a valley and the bike temp dropped to 24c!
The wife was suggesting we stop so she could put her hoodie on under her mesh jacket. I guess you do get acclimatized after a while.
Soon went back up to 29c, probably the coolest day's riding so far.
The motorway between Bilbao and Santander must be the best motorway in the world, it's a 120kph limit and twisty as fook, the locals love a race, but you can beat them easy when they slow down for the speed cameras.
23km tomorrow for the big boat home.
