Gavin to San Sebastian

We left the beautiful mountain village of Gavin and headed west for Pamplona. We stopped for breakfast in a rough looking roadside cafe which was quite the experience, great food and coffee for all 3 for 13 euros. Nice quiet roads with more fabulous scenery onwards to Pamplona. We had a very pleasant extended lunch there after visiting the streets where they have the bull run. We also walked a few steps on the camino trail to a nice Cathedral. The selection of food at the tapas bar we had lunch in was delicious.
The last parts of the journey on to San Sebastian was very hot,eventually rising to 39 or 40 degrees. Thoughts of the beach kept us going as we baked for the last few miles doing laps to find the hotel:) We were glad to get into the hotel with a cool drink and air con before heading to the lovely beach where lots of the locals were cooling off too. Great way to finish another great day. Good memories of Seamus and Gerald's 2019 bicycle ride which finished on the same beach. Off now in a little while for a walk over to old town , about a mile away to soak up the Friday night atmosphere and get a bite to eat.Read more
