San Sebastián, The Seaside Jewel!
... to use our flashlights on our phones to shower, eat and brush our teeth in the pitch black hostel before finally someone came down and reset the fuse box! But we managed the morning by getting ourselves to the bus station on time for our 1.5 hour bus ride to San Sebastián.
After a quick nap and a scenic bus ride on our way to San Sebastián we arrived in the centre along the Rio Urumea where we were fortunate enough to catch the morning rowers out ...

After 6 weeks and 800km of hiking, life's a beach!
... We then bussed it back to Santiago with our new friend Christina from Canada, picked up Michele and hit the road in a hire car back to close to where we started the hike. We stopped in for a night in Cudillero and Gijon on the way, and also stopped in at A Coruña, Oviedo, and Llanes on the way. At a couple of points our trusty NavMan GPS led us slightly astray leading us onto partially-completed highways leading to no-where! We think perhaps they told NavMan they ...
