I left my camera :( and my video camera got ruined by the tide in San Sebastian, but I will try to post as many things as possible to give you an idea of the experience.
I LOVE SAN SEBASTIAN. Javi & I LOVE IT THERE
we took the 8 am train Friday, and we arrived around 1. It is BEAUTIFUL. We walked around some stores, and we went to the beach for awhile. We arrived during low tide apparently, and we sat quite far from the water. As we laid down and relaxed, awhile into it, the water completely shocked us and got our stuff wet. It was so depressing :( We continued to move back, and it caught us at least 3 times we had to grab the stuff and move quickly -being that we were then much more alert of the changing water levels.
We ate at an amazing restaurant that night in the center of town; Bodegon Alejandro. It was supreme. We went to bed early since we had surfing the next day!
The water was cold, but we had full wet suits; so many people surf in San Sebastian- it was so interesting to see and interact with all the people. The waves there are also quite larger than what we had in Puerto Rico. It was so much fun. We got EXHAUSTED as usual, but it was an absolutely AMAZING 2 hours of surf.
We nommed hard for lunch at some tapas or pinxtos places in San Seba. We ate mussles and some papas at a bar - I cannot remember the name. We then proceeded to the famous La Cuchara de San Telmo. Seriously- best food I've had -probably- in Spain. 3 euro a pinxto/tapa, and each was a reasonable size and legit gourmet. We had 5 plates and 2 drinks for 23 euro total.
Their famous sautéed foie gras, cuchillo de Segovia, pulpo, gazpacho, and scallop.
We also had a slice of cheesecake at a restaurant called La Vina; famous for it's cheese cake or tarta de queso. The quote from the reviews Javi and I like best is "eat cheesecake and die". It was definitely one of the best I've had.
Next post will be PAMPLONA!!!
