Santillana del Mar, Bilbao, Guernica

We left Potes and the Picos de Europa one day early due to predicted rain, and made a one night stop at the town of Santillana del Mar. The next day we visited the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the town of Guernica while driving on to our next destination.

We left Potes (and the Picos de Europa) one day early due to a prediction of rain. We drove to Santillana del Mar for an unscheduled (rare for us) one night stay.
The biggest attraction in Santiallana del Mar is the Altamira Caves exhibit. Like everywhere in Europe now, you can no longer go into the actual cave; instead you enter a museum style reproduction of the cave. Photography was not allowed, so I scanned this brochure for you.
This sign at the entrance stated the exhibit's purpose in an amusing way (see the next slide to more easily read the statement).

OK, no photography allowed! But with a little practice one can get a shot of the ceiling above while holding your iPhone down by your belly!
