... our first surfing destination to dip a toe or two into a deserted Atlantic which Lym thoroughly enjoyed, however which led Annabelle to looking like an extra from a B-grade vampire movie; this following her surfboard and her face becoming rather intimate. Enough for one day, onward to our campsite at historic Santillana del Mar.<br>

... small place got packed by about 3:30. We had a delicious meal: 1) a Basque version of bruschetta (ham, tomatoes, sea salt, olive oil), 2) a clam that gave you a burst of sea, 3) the best calamari that I have ever had (whole, not your strips type) and then tail of bull (rabo de toro). Oh, yeah, I think we also had a bottle of red wine. Yum!<br><br>We took a nap after a short walk after that. We walked ...

We drove from Madrid, got a bit lost trying to find Lurdea. We thought it is a name of a village but it is not it is just the name of the Hotel/Casa Rural.<br><br>The place is amazing. Located in the hills above Bermeo, with magnificent view of the ocean. It is clean (like really clean) and has the air of a relaxing boutique hotel.<br>

Aubergine roasted in liquorice was a pleasant new experience, but all in all not a patch on the Andra Mari which I tried on Monday, and not as good value. If you ...

The impressive designs of the building make a big impression of every eye of the tourist. The curves on the building have been designed to appear random, It is a modern and contemporary art museum designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. This Museum is located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. This museum is one of the several museums ...

... somewhere you want to stay. True is relatively near the tube into the city (a cab ride of about £5) but it's not worth it. We left and didn't pay for the night we stayed there (I'm not sorry).<br><br>We also came to the conclusion that we needed a car so hired one to drive us to San Seb. Spent a another day in Bilbao seeing the obvious Guggenheim.

... was the prototypical Spanish senorita; she's definitely more than qualified to work at a Spanish hotel's reception desk, if you know what I mean! Had some bad gelato - watermelon and Ferrero Rocher. I was pretty tired and dazed; I walked from 16:30-20:30, and haven't really slept in 27 hours. But back up to the festival - the yummy ribs on the BBQ were 10 Euros for a small serving!!! Not worth it - I'll save my money for the amazing Basque ...

I will attach a picture of this huge thing... Segovia also has a magnificent castle that reminded me of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle.....which it inspired. It was once a favorite summer residence of the kings of Spain. It contained Moorish ...
