Moving on to Biarritz

We woke up to a picture perfect day in San Sebastian. I'm sad to leave here today but I get to explore a new location...Biarritz. But first, Sue, Kerri and I did a final walk through of the town, including Mercado San Martin which houses all sorts of culinary delights ranging from fish, meats and deli to produce, bread, and flowers. We also saw a few pilgrims because the Camino del Norte runs right along the beachfront promenade. We then packed up and walked to the bus station and took a one-hour Flix Bus to the Biarritz airport. We'd plan to take a taxi from there, but Kerri found that a local bus was about to stop at the airport and would take us very close to our hotel for €1.20. Score! We checked in and started exploring. We visited a church and some shops. We found a patisserie selling about a dozen different flavors of macaron. I bought the cerise (cherry) and it was delicious. It wasn't long before it started to rain so we took shelter in a cafe and ordered a local Basque drink called Patxaran. For dinner, we found a great place on a small dock called Casa Juan Pedro. There was a line forming before they opened so we figured it would be good. It didn't disappoint. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and generous.
