• I arrived in San Sebastian in the rain.

    August 29, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    It was raining hard when I
    arrived in San Sebastian. It's wet but warm. I like how the moisture brings out the contrast and details of the stones and buildings. It is a very pretty boating and surfing town by the sea. They also do a lot of bike riding here. The active carousel in the city park is well maintained as is their lovely landscapes.
    The tourist season is letting up, so the locals say, though it still looks heavy with crowds.
    I didn't fly with my trekking poles because they were most likely bound to be taken away as I pass through security, as the potential weapons they are. I'm without walking poles today, and I'm having a difficult time finding them here ( maybe I'll get lucky and find a shop in stock with them on my way out of town). I'll keep looking for a pair as I pass through places.
    I expect a steep climb today as I will cover 13 miles and perhaps in continuous rain. The Camino trek begins✨️.
