I have to show pictures and talk about this town. It's Evan's favourite place. Not because it was in any way particularly amazing, he just loves to pronounce Barcena Mayor. He is able to work it into many conversations that have nothing at all to do with anything even remotely close to the topic.
On the way, I'm reminded of Australia again…
Barcena Mayor is considered to be the oldest town in the Cantabria region. Given that the Altamira caves are also in Cantabria that's a fairly big call, but I think it's more about the well-preserved buildings dating back to Medieval times rather than being the oldest settlement.
On the way back…
