    2We walked up one of the local hills above the city, one with a large statue of Jesus. Great Views!
    2We walked up one of the local hills above the city, one with a large statue of Jesus. Great Views!This area was part of a fortress used by troops over the years to protect the city.Elements of the fortress are on display.We walked on a gradual promenade most of the way, the last bit was stairs.Views were worth the effort. Plus the area was full of trees and other native plants.We are staying in a modern apartment building, but this pretty building is just a half a block away.Another beautiful building.2You can clearly see the French influence in the baked goods.The summer palace used by the queen of Spain when she spent the summers in the 1800's.Calvin and a statue of Don Quixote.There is a Bicycle race happening which is why you hear an announcer in the background.San Sebastián & surrounding areas are popular surfing areas. Funny to see a surfboard in the city.We treated ourselves to a nice dinner. Cal had spider crab but ate it before I could get a picture.My appetizer was octopus. Sprinkled with dried peppers so slightly spicy and really good!We've enjoyed a local wine called Txakoli (pronounced chacolí). Light and easy to drink.We've also enjoyed trying some of the Spanish Reds.After a couple of days of rain we had the sun come out and a beautiful sunset.11

    A bit more from San Sebastián

    June 30, 2024 in Spain ☁️ 19 °C

    There were a few other photos and descriptions from San Sebastian we wanted to share so I’m adding another post.

    We’ve really enjoyed our time here and appreciate our friends (the Tjernlund’s) recommending we add it to our itinerary.Read more
