... in Spain, Jesus gave Conrad a list of his favorite wines which Conrad keeps in his wallet, after all it's not everyday you get a list of wine recommendations from Jesus.



Once Hector's girlfriend arrived, we went for dinner at 10:00 pm. Hector brought us to this little place where the bartender made an old man move and give us his table. The place was a cidreria, which is an apple ...

... the mountains following the river Cares. Although it is only possible to see the river occasional due to it being too far below the path it is possible to hear it. The walk is about 24 kilometers there and back. Approx 16 miles. We have never been on such a spectacular walk.

I've heard Spanish spoken with a Brazilian Portuguese accent the odd time before, but didn't realize it could be that beautiful. Perhaps it was because it was that specific mixture of Brazilian Portuguese and the Spanish from Spain. Patricia has always told me I need to visit Brazil ... I ...

I quickly took the funicular down (90p return, making the walk a waste of time) just in time for the weather to turn and the beach to empty. That night I went bar hopping. San Sebastián is the tapas capital of the world. In the pedestrian-only Parte Vieja, where some streets are almost exclusively made of bars, tapas (or ...
