Santander (with a borked foot - still).

Looks like I'm stuck in Santander for Two weeks at least. Stupid of me to ignore foot problems, and now I'm under strict instruction not to walk at all for a while. So, Two weeks (at least) in Santander. Not really a problem. It's a lovely city. I have an affordable bed and sketching potential is huge. Plenty to keep me busy for a fortnight.

Can't believe I managed to walk 2,000KM+ over mountains, through valleys and across plains with barely a blister only to fuck my foot up with a gentle stroll along a promenade! Such is life - you never know.

If I'm staying here for a while I better contact the local press. I need all the help I can muster.

Hi!
I'm curious concerning your accommodation. If you pay more than 15 Euros, let me know. I have friends in Santander (was hospitalero for a while)who can put you up for that price.
Also, pay a visit to the Bar La Barruca, next to the albergue. The owner, Dora, can be of some help for cheap food. Pass my regards.

Thanks.

All is good ATM. Affordable bed is VERY affordable for the time being, and I'm making reasonable money. I should be OK, but I may come back if I out stay my welcome where I am!

Not a great problem. If I have to take a bus somewhere else for the sake of making money/surviving whilst I can't walk I will, and then get the bus back to start walking again when my foot has healed. I'm lucky that I have no 'real' job ,or time contstraints.
