Pasaia to San Sebastián

After yesterday, today was practically a rest day! I only walked to San Sebastián about 5 miles. Of course the day started with a climb - up concrete and rock stairs - the equivalent of about 25 flights according to my Fitbit. After that it was steadily uphill until the rather steep descent into San Sebastián.

Some beautiful views along the way, and the weather cooperated by not raining, though it was overcast and very dark walking through some forested areas.

I quickly found my pensión and was able to drop off my backpack while I attended to the important business of the day - buying new waterproof socks. Somehow I managed to lose one that I had brought with me, and considered doing without, but I saw that Decathlon carries waterproof socks. I first checked the small Decathlon City store not far from the pensión, but their stock was very limited. I looked on the in-store kiosk computer and saw that they had a few pair at the large store a bit outside the city center. There was a bus nearby that took me right there and I now am the happy owner of 3 waterproof socks.

I'm currently sitting in a laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry, then I have been told in no uncertain terms that I MUST get ice cream at s shop called Gelataria Boulevard by a fellow Camino forum member. It's an order that I'll be happy to follow.😂

I'm a little disappointed that the weather isn't better, but I plan to make the most of my time here.Read more
