San Sebastian Day 3

Today we ventured out in light rain to climb up Mount Urgell. It used to be a fort that protected the area. There is a 40 foot statue of Jesus at the top. We were rewarded with beautiful views of La Concha Bay and beyond it to the Bay of Biscay. We then wandered through town and perused the shops, stopping for a snack, before heading back to the hotel for a nap. Luckily, the rain stopped when we were ready to go to dinner. We chose Gambara, a Michellin recommended restaurant. We arrived 20 minutes before they opened because we heard there is a line to get in. There were nine people ahead of us and the place fits about 20 people. The line grew quickly behind. We shared several amazing dishes accompanied by the local txacolí wine. When we stepped out of the restaurant, we were greeted with a beautiful blue sky. Since sunset wasn't until 9:30pm, we strolled along the promenade from one end of the beach to the other and back. We walked eight miles today.Read more
