After the group dwindling down to just me remaining I left Phil in Madrid for the drive up to San Sebastian. Arriving at around 9pm after a few stops along the way I checked into my hostel and went straight out to get into the action.
Pintxo bars are the norm up here which is basically the Basque version of tapas. I find these bars interesting as they basically work on the honour system as you just eat and drink and pay when you´re done by telling them what you have eaten. Having minimal Spanish it´s interesting sorting the bill by pointing to all the food you have eaten.
The beaches here are stunning as the old buildings make a great backdrop to the two main beaches. Which are packed from morning to night.
Driving to Bilbao so see the bullfighting this afternoon with some other people from the hostel. Should be interesting.
