Donostia/San Sebastián

Today's adventures might not be the most thrilling, but they're a part of our journey nonetheless.

Ursula and I dedicated a significant chunk of our morning to navigating the intricate process of setting up an account with Banco Santander, which was quite challenging for foreigners like us. Eventually, I initiated a wire transfer from Wells Fargo into the newly established account. The anticipated arrival of the funds is slated for June 8th, a wait that feels a bit incredulous. The wheels of finance do turn slowly at times.

Our day led us to explore the town's historic district, where we wandered through the local gem, Mercado de La Bretxa. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we indulged in Pintxos and wine, savoring the delectable olives procured from the lively vendor Manu.

While the girls delved into various fashion boutiques, Kurt and I visited a nearby church. With an eye on tomorrow's journey, we meticulously planned our departure route along the picturesque coastal path to the west, securing our accommodations in Santander.

As the day matured, we found ourselves ambling along the pier, the early evening sun casting a warm glow over the scene. The bay offered captivating views, and we marveled at the intricate designs that local artists had etched in the sand. Another chapter of our adventure ended, culminating in a satisfying dinner at Pizzeria La Mina.Read more
