San Sebastian

After a gruelling 10 hours walk we stumbled into SS, through forests, over mountains, picturesque little fishing villages. This is a city of 150,000 - beautiful, elegant, and vibrant . Like Madrid people come out after 8-9 for the evening pintxo crawl or paseo. Everyone is included - kids, old people, handicapped, teens. We are in the Parte Viejo (the old town) it seens to be mainly a warren of small streets with many bars, cafes, restaurants and pensiones. It´s hot 30-32 but with lovely sea breezes. The beaches are packed, La Concha is the main beach it´s a gorgous curving stretch of golden sand dotted with bars with a backdrop of amazing belle epoq 5-6 story buildings. We flaked early and slept well. One more day of rest and then it´s onwards and no more 2 day stay overs. Will send photos soon. SS has 3 great beaches so we may have a swim.
