San Sebastian
After doing some wandering i'm now in San Sebastian. I have only been here a day but I love this town. Forget Barcelona, this place wins any comparison easily. Great streets, character, shops, people, and food, food, food. There are a total of sixteen Michelin stars awarded to restaurants in the area –a greater density than anywhere else on the planet.
