San Sebastian: sights and beaches

by | Oct 11, 2016 | International Travel, Travel

Our first night in San Sebastian we spent avoiding drunk teenagers in the Old Town by walking across the bridge to the Gros district. Tasty food was found, along with peace and quiet and this view of the gorgeous sunset…

The next morning we spent walking along La Concha Beach to Peine del Viento, a lookout point with sculptures.

Between clothes shopping, sitting on the beach, and stuffing ourselves with small, tasty plates of food we found San Sebastian to be a delightful place to spend a few days.
