This post started off on another tangent but very quickly evolved when I looked through the photos.
Initially, it was gonna show you an aspect of San Sebastian I really enjoyed (the eating and drinking) but when I started looking through the photos, I realised there’s no way I could do that without showing you what San Sebastian is really like.
Also, I couldn’t fit all the photos in one post without this post taking ages to load so I’m gonna have to cover our gluttony in another post!
Right, now on with San Sebastian! Shortly after checking into Hotel Londres, we were itching to go check out the city and so after some ‘ooohing’ and ‘aaahing’ over the hotel rooms and the view, we ventured out into the city…
As though the city wasn’t pretty enough, I got distracted along the way by some sweet stuff! But this post isn’t about food so let’s quickly skip past this (it’s already making me hungry!)
The city streets were filled with lots of family and friends out for food and drinks which is more of ‘an event’ than in most places of the world.
Check out the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Chorus – pretty impressive, right?
We popped into a few local bars for drinks and nibbles…
We the went to check out the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Chorus which I found pretty brilliant!
Check out San Sebastian Cathedral in the distance!
Mmmmmm…. ice cream!
Which was the perfect companion for a walk on the beach! Perfect until it was all gone! (Boo!)
Family life is such an important part of life in the Basque Country…
Everyone and every pet was in the water!
Especially this guy who was attracting a lot of attention for this jumping off the bridge in some pretty impressive leaps and twists…. (I don’t know what those things are officially called!)
See, I told you everyone was jumping into the water!
As the sun dipped across the horizon, we went off to check out these cool vents which blew air up when the waves came crashing it! Milou was having a blast getting herself some hair-apy (hair therapy! Yes? No? 😉 )
Patrizia was loving it too!
The denim jacket and black jeans combo was not planned but looked pretty good methinks!
We also checked out the Comb of the Wind. They’re metal structures wedges into the rocks and they’re quite impressive to see in person!
Finally, we made our way back to the hotel for a quick change before dinner! But before that, we took in all the sights across the pier! It’s so beautiful at night!
I tried to hold off talking about food for long enough but I can’t wait till I can show you that soon! The Basque country is pretty much a food region and it is amazing!
