Beautiful, isn't it? This stunning and colorful fields are at the top of Roca Blanca's cliff, at Suances (Cantabria, northern Spain). #spring #pink #flowers #cliff
Beach with many interesting rocks looking like inside of the catedral. Be careful when the high tide comes! You could be easily cut off from the stairs back to the car.
