When we planned our trip to el pais vasco, we were planning on spending a day on the French side of the area. We went to try and find bus/train tickets, and they were all really expensive, so we decided to spend our last day in San Sebastian. Naturally, we slept in because we could. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping, so we went to the beach!
We went to one of the beaches and watched surfers and took in the sun, and then we got the brilliant idea of going to buy cheap towels and lay out! We went to the first Chino shop we could find and bought the cheapest towels and went back to the hostel to put on our swim suits! We grabbed some pintxos for lunch and then headed to the other beach in town. Then we realized, it was WAY too cold to lay out in our swimsuits. Brittany only lasted about 15 minutes and I only 30.
We put our clothes back on and lounged around the beach. Brittany slept, but I people watched. There were tons of people. Some were sleeping, some were playing soccer, others cricket, and there were tons of little kids! And for some strange reason in Spain, its completely OK to let your child run around naked on the beach. I would NEVER do that, but whatever.
After we were done with the beach, we wandered around the other part of town we hadn’t visited yet and found a cute little park.
We got more pintxos for dinner and then went to watch the sunset at the beach. It was beautiful.
The trip to San Sebastian was pretty relaxing (aside from the crazy transportation/lodging incidents), which was exactly what I needed.
