Zumaia

Once again just an overnight stopover to break the journey. The aire was a bit disappointing, just a large car park on an industrial estate, with a few old caravans dotted around. We assume the locals use the area for storage. No facilities, we didn't need any anyway. 

There is a good cyclepath into town along the river and around the harbour, so that gave us some exercise for the day. 
Pleasant town and port with a large ship called the Norwegian Gannett. It looked like a fishing vessel of some sort, and the name would suggest the same but what was it doing in a dock in Zumaia? I had to Google it. It turns out it is a fishing vessel but it is designed for  the salmon farms of the Norwegian Fjords, and it was built in the shipyard here.
First launched in May 2018. She is still being fitted out.
