San Sebastian - Spain

Our overnight journey wasn’t too bad, but we unfortunately missed our stop with the change in time zones so after stressing a bit, we got it sorted and made it to our accommodation. We really wanted to stay a while in San Sebastian, but as we quickly learnt, it was relatively expensive compared to other places we had been and also had a large film festival on at the same time, so nearly everything was booked out. 

We always enjoy our beach days, and spent the first day lazing on the beach followed by some Tapas and a beer that night. The tapas that night was beef cheek, and roasted duck, which was real yum. But the next night we got a bit more adventurous and had a shrimp dish and pigs ear. Louise didn’t mind the taste of the pigs ear, but the thought of the pigs ear put her off a bit! I was able to stomach it ok, and although it was pretty good too, it probably wouldn’t be my first choice.

Our second and last day in San Sebastian was great though. The surf was pumping the day before and although it had dropped in size a bit, it was still super fun the next day. So after a bit of searching, I hired a board and got stuck into it. So while I surfed for a couple of hours, Louise read her book on the beach. It was a good way to finish up as it was going to be a long day the next day catching 3 buses to our next destination, the tacky package holiday spot of Lloret de Mar.
