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 ...
