...and the Astonishing Walk to Get There! Join Us on Our Day Trip to Faro Del Caballo, Santoña.

[@steve-marsh]

Life has been busy recently, so this one is from our last trip to Santander. A bit out of my normal chronological order, but it’s a beautiful setting so hope you enjoy anyway :)

[@dominicskelton3031]

Slacker. ;-) Great video as ever, and a good fit that you've broken Spain out just as summer finally shows its face....

[@vivellasmum]

AAh it threw me, I thought, back from Newfoundland & straight to Santander? What a life 😉

[@Saltybuher]

Btw you can see similar daredevil goats on the Great Orme. It’s always heart in mouth stuff. Thanks both for another great video.

[@stevenweaver9753]

Another amazing video. Your channel is my Saturday fixed now. Its a must watch. I love traveling and seeing different places. But you have away in which you bring us all along with you for the experience. Steve and Alicja Thnak you. Got an idea. I watched the Steve vs Scott challange. Would be good if you did a 36 hours "how far can you go! but you must get back to Dundee before the 36 hours are up. That would be interesting. And you can only take one plane flight. Would be tricky. But fun. I know you have many more plans. Till next time, "Thank you for watching" Take Care.

[@Michael-wy6ix]

On my way to Santander by ferry middle of August. Normally only pass through with a brief stop in Noja but this time staying for 4 days. Can’t wait !!

Who needs or wants a television licence, when there's free ,top quality entertainment and content like this on KZbin.

[@Russell-wm8hv]

totally agree which is why i got rid of my tv licence years ago

[@Dhhhhj27]

And with real people not scripted government rubbish

[@sueharrison4725]

Exactly. That's all we watch is you tube

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

Agreed- here in Brisbane the latest crazy that has gone down is that one of the news networks fired EVERYONE'S favourite news presenter last week, and started airing **horoscopes**, along with a 2 min "news comedy sketch" during the 6pm news broadcast. I am seriously not kidding.

[@francisnewmarch6837]

Totally agree 👍

[@geoffreyfreitag1276]

I just came across this one, I appreciate you filming that lighthouse. I am old but you did the walk to show people like me thanks. It was an amazing view of the area.

[@suebrown436]

Late watching this one, but glad I didn't overlook it. What a cracking video Steve, and what an amazing walk both of you. First day class entertainment for those of us lucky enough to follow your channel. Thank you!!

[@5160David]

I'm knackered after watching this 😂. Well done you two for putting the effort in to show us this Alicja and Steve ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

[@user-qw1we8lt8j]

who made those steps deserve a medal so do you two for going down

[@KarenAllison-b2i]

Well that was some hike ! There was Alicia the mountain goat herself carrying the backpack, not out of breath and not even breaking out in a sweat ! Well done both of you and thank you for sharing as it must have been incredibly hard to do that hike and film at the same time. Love you guys, I don’t know if you ever have, but I’d love you to do a Q & A together either live or just ask folks to submit questions, then you can choose what you answer 😂

[@crawdad19141]

Ugh, my Knees ache just watching that! Well done you two! I just added this area to my Bucket list based on your adventures and quality video!

[@HOWAY27]

Oh my gosh I'm worn out guys....your two are just awesome honestly 👍👌💓

[@kes251]

Nope, you couldn't pay me enough to go up and down those lighthouse steps. Brave, you two are! It's stunning and I'm grateful for your bravery.

[@Shinare73]

You guys are amazing! Those stairs would have absolutely broke me and you guys continue to walk even after that! Well done you too and thank you for the wonderful video and the beautiful scenery

[@kevdeary5227]

Just when I thought Santander couldn’t get better, an Everton pub!! Paradise

[@Michael-wy6ix]

Isn’t it in Santona ?

[@suzannebell51]

That fog proves why the lighthouse was built! Boats wouldn't want to come out of that fog into sheer cliff faces. Beautiful scenery and most impressed by you two mastering all these steps!

[@Nook747]

Yes, loved this long video you two. Fantastic landscape. Thank you as always for taking me along. Wonderful.

[@catwalkin-im7yp]

Thank you for going up and down all those steps so that I don't have to. Wonderful video, thank you.

[@srcarranza]

"the memory of the sun on my skin" that's really poetic and more so of a sunburn.

[@johnland5042]

You two are amazing...so much energy...I'm worn out from watching this latest adventure. Thank you. So looking forward to the next one.

[@fprichards4148]

I discovered your channel by coincidence and quite happy about it. I enjoy your content. But I specifically want to make a point about your choice of music. I really like the music you put on. Atmospheric haunting music in remote Scottish islands, different native sounding music in remote parts of Canada, Spanish music in this vlog... all equally fitting with the geography and makes your content even more enjoyable.

[@rikvegas1954]

That fog coming in so quickly was amazing to see, great video!!

[@suef52]

Oh my goodness! All those steps. But the view was incredible.

[@kevancook2699]

I recently visited Santander and the adjacent coast as a result of your video record of your winter visit and absolutely loved it. I’ll definitely go back

[@bobv.9674]

Nothing quite like a cold Heineken to top off an adventurous day. Thanks for taking us along! Cheers!!

[@beverlyzimmermann5868]

That walk was crazy, thank you for doing it for me

[@tiniselles]

I so relate, glad they did for me😂😂😂

[@ferenccookmurray]

I love this episode! What a beautiful walk. Spain is stunning!

[@angiejones5918]

I'm feeling sympathetic leg wobbles. You both deserve a hearty "well done!"

[@KeefsCattys]

Always love it when you two are out together, such fun videos ! I'd love to go to go abroad and especially Santander . Hopefully something I might do in the future . Best wishes to you both .

[@anjavonpfeil4312]

I think this is one of my favourite videos ever. What stunning scenery! And that fog moving in so suddenly gave it a whole new atmosphere. Those steps - I have no words. Bet you had sore legs the next day. Thanks for taking us along for the journey, and not dropping us over the edge! 😂😂

[@lawreence13]

The vibrant colours, the herculean effort , the spectacular fog and then those iced lagers. I need a holiday now jsut watching you two

[@kathleenzaffore1560]

Your spectacular walk through Spanish forests with views of lighthouses, beaches, cliffs SAVED me from American political television/newspapers on this Sunday morning. Instead of political depression, I am lifted up with you and ready to have a totally joyful day. I can feel the cool fog -- reminded me of where I grew up on the coast of Southern California -- as well as the burn of muscles up the steps. Thank you for a trip to Spain this morning. What could be better!?!

[@PanamaRose]

Well said! Their videos show me places I would no longer be able to travel to! ❤

[@BabyMama1234]

Steve ,this was your best video . Thank you to both of you. A

[@jornspirit]

wow - this was indeed an amazing day out, and the stairs down (and up again!) to the Faro del Caballo made even my calves tremble in empathy... the views were truly amazing, and the magical weather changes were right on time - you truly deserved 'em! When back in Santona, I needed a beer as well, just to recover... an unforgettable trip... just reminds me again of how much I do love Spain... need to get back there for a trip... you certainly did wet my appetite on Santander & area... thanks so much, Steve & Alicia 💖😎

[@harley8680]

The cliff walk down to the lighthouse was amazing. I dunno how you did that with a fear of heights - honestly. the rock is so unusual there. thanks for sharing such a beautiful piece of the earth with us all!

[@sallyelling9329]

Your two remind me so much of us, my partner was 21 when we met and me 46, we have been together now for 32 years I think, I am near 80 and cannot walk so much so I envy the pair of you doing all those lovely walks.

[@jacquie313]

Loved it, so beautiful, thanks to you both, 👍

[@zweispurmopped]

30:00 Imagine that stairway crowded and somebody heavy right upstairs falls. That'll be worse than a plane crash! 😵‍💫 One of the words in German other languages don't really have an equivalent for is "Fernweh". It's the opposite of "Heimweh2, homesickness. It describes the state of yearning to travel. This video so very much inspires extreme Fernweh in me! 😫 That was so BEAUTIFUL, I want to be there right now! 🥴 Lovely video and another huge effort by the two of you! 🙏🤗

[@ExploreTheWeekendUK]

That fog was awesome! Even if it did go from "it'll be cooler soon", to "it's a bit cold" in about 30 seconds!!!

[@ScottishT]

Loved this, not even sure how I missed it previously ✌️

[@paulinemcfarlan-ug5pd]

What an amazing walk, my legs are still shaking. Thank you for an excellent video, what views, I felt I was on the walk with you both. Thank you😅

[@dthomp06]

I last week when I watched the Ben Nevis blog, I thought about the amt of work it took to build the tail… this week I was exhausted just thinking about the hours and hours of work it took to build these steps. Good on you for making it down and back up all of them.

[@danielregan6399]

Great vlogg enjoyed it even better when i seen that random everton bar keep them coming steve and alisha 👍👍👏

As an Everton fan, you’ve made my day Steve. Thanks man! An Everton bar in Santoña, never expected that! Brilliant video, thanks Steve.

Great video . Beautiful views from the bus ride to the lighthouse . I was sweating , out of breath watching u both climbing that hill of endless steps and I’m watching from my bed lol Incredible views . Was worth a beer afterwards . Cheers from California

Wow, I felt like reaching through the screen and handing you both a cold energy drink. seriously impressive scenery, seriously treacherous stairs, seriously impressive acheivment..

Wow awesome.....a place ill never get to so thank Steve and Alicja,, for taki g me along with you.

[@janettesinclair6279]

What a fascinating day out in a relatively unknown part of Spain - two lighthouses, 765 steps, a prison and no snakes! Santander is a very lovely city too. Than you for sharing this day out with us. You certainly deserved that refreshment at the end....

[@hanshartfiel6394]

Another great video. Like you I happen to like lighthouses but the moment i saw those steps I would have given it a miss. They are a killer and you two and all the rest who made it down and up have my fullest respect.

[@tombillotto6335]

Wow - what a great adventure! You two are troupers.

[@gailwhite9044]

I really love your channel, and watch just to hear you say wee this and wee that! So fun. And Alicja’s dimples are adorable! ☺️

Wow. What a fantastic video that was. Well done to you both for tackling the hike when my knees wouldn’t allow me to do so anymore. Loved it Julie xx

[@noelleclemens7057]

An astonishingly beautiful walk. The sun, the fog, the steps - who carved them?! - the trees, the goats, the bird song. Love the story of Santoña v Laredo. Many thanks, both of you, for walking it for us!

[@jesuscarcamo1]

This staircase was built by the inmates of a nearby prison, specifically those of the Santoña prison in the nineteenth century

[@smogontheline]

Great video and an amazing achievement climbing down and back up those steps. My legs hurt just watching 😂 The views from the small lighthouse look stunning, and perfect timing getting there to see it before the fog came in. Hope you're both well. Andy.

[@judybee]

And there was I thinking that the Ben Nevis🏔climb was a tough one...I lost count of the number of times I held my breath in this one! And still Alicja just bounds on...she's truly amazing! Was I ever like that? In my long distant memory maybe! I don't know how you film & talk whilst doing these videos Steve😲 I'm so impressed!☺ What great memories you both have x J x

[@curtbonnell4308]

OMG, all those steps to get down to the lighthouse is one thing, BUT, all those steps going up would kill me. I admire the energy you both have. An absolute gem of a video.

[@TheDriftdog]

That was epic! Thank you for sharing such views with us!

[@horsehollerer]

Another brilliant long-form vlog. Many thanks!

[@sandymclennan2073]

Once again you have taken us along with you on a fabulous walk, not one that I could manage, especially the steps to and from the lighthouse, I think I would have been hijacking one of the jet skis to get back.... 35k steps is one heck of a day out and you both deserve that first bucket of beers.....I daresay you had more.......thanks again......

[@muldoon67]

I'm just shaking my head at both that stunning view and the sheer effort you guys put in. I have never heard of this place and it is just amazing.

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

That's a tremendous effort guys. You needed to have your wits about you as well as possessing just a wee bit of physical stamina. On both levels I couldn't manage it so it was fantastic to see you achieve all the steps. You deserved your beers at the end. Thanks for sharing.

[@peterjackson6547]

I really enjoyed that.............and not in the least tired.......................perhaps because you guys did the heavy lifting!
