San Sebastian

Buses are the way to travel in this part of Spain as the trains are less frequent and take three times as long. It is only an hour from Bilbao to San Sebastian, so I was checked into my room and out wandering in the sun by midday. What a stunner of a day; sun sun sun and 23 degrees. People were swimming and walking with their shirts off 🙂 and dogs happily trotted behind their owners. Being winter there are not as many tourists as normal, so it was mostly locals out enjoying the day, making the most of their siesta time before heading back to work. I like the lifestyle of taking time out from work to enjoy the best hours of the day (1-4pm). It seems so much healthier than trying to cram everything into the end of the day. San Sebastian has three beautiful horseshoe-shaped golden sand beaches to choose from, cafes and restaurants right on the beach, and a very pretty city. It is also famous for its pintxos, reputedly the best in Spain, and I have a list of places that people have recommended to check out. This will be my last stop before heading back to the UK and I plan to soak up as much warmth as possible in the next few days before heading back into the cold. Hasta luego x
