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!)So Here

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.So Here

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? 😉 )So Here

Patrizia was loving it too!

The denim jacket and black jeans combo was not planned but looked pretty good methinks!So Here

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!So Here

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! So Here
