June 18:  Noja to Santander  40,295 steps

The long walk days mean an early departure so the plan was to meet in the lobby by 7am and eat breakfast on the road.  The route today is along the coast again, but as in the past it includes several trips up into the hillsides and back down.  Today is Sunday, so the chance of finding stores for supplies is out and the only hope is that there will be occasional bars or restaurants open along the way to get water and something to eat.  The weather has switched back to sun so the ponchos are packed, but the suntan lotion is out.
