    You will be surprised to see that there is someone already sitting on the bench in the Poets garden! It is a statue of the poet Gerardo Diego who was born in Santander in 1896.

    Peace and Quiet

    Situated in the city centre it is a lovely place to spend a few quality moments with your thoughts.....

    The cathedral had really nice cloisters. It was a very popular spot for newly weds . . . while we were there about three newly married couples arrived to have their photos taken. They seemed to have been married elsewhere and come just for pictures.

    Maybe it was the only dry spot in town!

    Finally managed to get a reasonable picture of the post office building by creeping up behind it on the cathedral steps. Managed to get the wind at my back to stop rain getting on the camera.

    I thought this was a lovely building which reminded me more of a villa than something you would expect from a post office.
