After two nights we left Bilbao and headed west to Laredo. This may sound like a location in a cowboy film but in this case it’s a seaside town between Bilbao and Santander.

The town itself was very quiet being out of season but we were stopping for 3 nights at campsite just south of the town which seemed much more popular. Camping Playa del Regatón is set on the estuary of the Treto river, surrounded by a wetlands national park. Just outside the campsite was a large riding school with horses & ponies being ridden along the shoreline.

In the evening people would stand on the shore just outside the campsite gates to watch the sun go down.
