On our way from Plencia to Santander we stopped for lunch at Asador Extebarri, which is the “#10 restaurant in the world” according to https:\/\/www.theworlds50best.com\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We beg to differ.\u00a0 While some courses were excellent, others were just ok, and a few were just plain terrible!\u00a0 I started taking pictures to give it a review like Restaurante Arzak, but it just wasn’t worthy of that.\u00a0 Arzak was FAR better!\u00a0 If you are curious about details, you can see my review here<\/a> on Trip Advisor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because of how bad the service was at Extebarri, we were quite late getting into Santander, and arrived well after dark, so we missed the view from our Airbnb there until the morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not a bad spot for coffee and breakfast!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We spent most of our time here simply walking along the beach.\u00a0 Very relaxing, and the weather was perfect!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We walked through Magdalena Park, which is along the bay, and discovered they had a minature zoo with seal lions and penguins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We even took a chance and ate at a resturant on the edge of the beach that had spotty reviews on Trip Advisor, and it was excellent, way better than the #6 restaurant in the world!\u00a0 Review here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A truly beautiful spot that we’d like to come back to at some point, just not in the summer.\u00a0 We saw photos of the beach, and it’s so crowded I don’t know how anybody could enjoy themselves.\u00a0 We prefer the beach with fewer people.\u00a0 Nobody wants to see my lilly white “body by Budweiser” (or in my case Vino) anyway!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
