We spent a day exploring the area around San Vincente de la Barquera in Cantabria. The quaint town with just over 4000 inhabitants is located on the edge of the Cantabrian Sea. The day we were there they were having a medieval festival.

The streets leading up the hill towards the castle in the historic section of the town had rows of medieval themed shops and displays.

We walked up enjoying the different displays and the stalls selling all different types of goods.

There were some medieval interactive displays along the way, of course Ray had to stopped to try one out.

We slowly walked up the street slowly looking at the different stalls and displays.

We eventually reached the castle, which is known as, The Castle of the King.

We explored the castle area and walked out one of the arches into a nice quiet area with great views of the area and river.

The Castle was built in the 16th century and from there we could see the city and area below.

The views were spectacular and we enjoyed some time just relaxing and taking in the vistas. It was a good day exploring the town with so much history.
