Fri 20 Jun- after coffee we departed for Limpias and the 'Parador de Limpias'. On the way we decided to get a seafood dinner on the coast, which became sort of a wild goose chase, because we didn't have any restaurant name or address, just drove down roads near the ocean looking for a likely place. Finally settled for 'Restaurante gelin' in the town of Gajano (not even on my map), but it's near Santander. We each ordered the 'menu of the day' at E11 each: 'alcachofes salteadas con jamon' (artichoke hearts with ham); 'ensalidilla Ruse' (Russian salad); draft beer; 'chuleta a la plancha' (beefsteak with french fries); 'filete de lacha rebozada' (filet of fish); pudim de caco' (coconut pudding); and flan. It was plentiful, tasty, and quite filling. Fortunately one of the waitresses could translate the menu into something we could understand.
Then on to the Parador, apparently a former palace where we got a nice room with a good view of the courtyard.
We took an evening stroll along the river, surprised to see so many fish, apparently a kind of salmon. The town of Limpias is pretty quiet, so we stopped by a minimarket for tonight's veggie snack, then returned to the Parador and started researching again.
