San Sebastián, The Seaside Jewel!
... It was stunning to have such great weather for this day as we passed all the locals touring around the city. We ran into some incredible houses overlooking the ocean that we couldn't even imagine how expensive they would be!
We then stopped off at the Miramar Palace which is a "Harvard Like" House (aka. Mansion) perched on the banks of San Sebastián overlooking the bay and the Island of Santa Clara. This building now houses the famous music ...

Satisfied with what I saw, I closed my file on Pamplona. Back to San Sebastian for a shower and dinner. For dinner I elected to walk in to the town center. That way I could have a sample some of the local Vino.
Pintxos, the savoury snacks on a bread / pastry is all you can find to eat in San Seb. It would have been nice to see (and taste) something else, but hey – when in San ...
