Final San Sebastian

How to find the aire/caravan park

Obligatory cathedral shot

The main beach, in the harbor, some of the newer city

beyond

View of newer buildings, from other side of old town

Real Spanish tapas bar

All set up for lunch

San Sebastian Out-Takes

Best sight we saw Friday, the DHL office that shipped our

new international drivers license application back to America;

allow 5-7 days...

In the aire where we parked, at the Unibersitarea, a Class A

British motorhome

Monday night snow-storm--a real surprise, and not just to us

Snow accumulating on our windshield; we're not getting south

fast enough...

The Spanish are doing some very interesting

condom ads; it took us a few minutes to figure

them out...

San Sebastian Markets

In the fish market, the pescadaria

Ditto (not pictured: octopi, of which I am not fond, but which

are everywhere)

Ditto again

One of dozens of carneceria; jambon is the national favorite,

and pig legs are dangling from the ceilings of every store, bar,

etc; all those poor Spanish pigs hopping around on crutches....

A whole pallet full of pig legs, boxed and ready

for Xmas sale, at the local supermarket

San Sebastian

Available at fine stores everywhere; and recently decriminalized

in Spain

You can always rely on McDonald's to tell you what country

you're in (the McCroq in France was credible, sort of); besides,

McD's is the only continent-wide reliable wifi source, too

We're deep in Basque country; this guy atop the Mercado in

the Centro

Street in old town, lined with tapas bars

Castle overlooking one of the harbor entrances (before the

weather fell apart)

More of the harbor, with the other side and the little island

in between

Jesus blessing it all

And the absolutely best-yet St. Sebastian so far; duh...

We have spent some days in San Sebastian now. It is a lovely city, as gorgeous as any I have seen...a small harbor guarded by two mountains, an island in the middle, glorious 18th and 19th century buildings all around the harbor...plus the best cuisine in Spain, jambon, and tapas, and all the rest of that stuff.  The weather has cooled considerably--it snowed Monday night!!!--and we have grown a bit lazy. Besides, we are awaiting news of our new/improved international driving license.
