San Sebastian and France

I woke up feeling like sh*#. Sore throat, bloked runny nose, and a headache. 🤒 But we had a 10 hour organised tour booked and paid for today, so I had to soldier on. First stop, Biarritz, France. We had free time to look around. We saw where Napoleon Bonaparte III lived. Wandered along the boardwalk, then got lost for a bit, eventually resorting to Google maps to get us back to the bus. 😂From there a beautiful seaside town, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France. This is where the original macarons came from. (1660) Very different to ours as they use honey, not sugar, and almond cream. They were delicious. It was a family recipe held for over 400 years! Next was San Sebastian, Spain. Another costal town with lots of alleyways and mainly Pintxos. (Small portions of food, often on bread, and mainly seafood). We had lunch here and tried a famous baked cheesecake. This place was the first to use eggs. OMG it was divine! I’ll not a fan of any cheesecake, but I’ve been talking about this one all afternoon. 🤤 Got back to Bilbao just after 6pm. Checking out of here in the morning and going for a drive in the countryside to our next, very old, authentic hotel.Læs mere
