Tryp Orly Hotel San Sebastian San Sebastián - Donostia

... Pinxos restaurant she, Ev, and Jullie had loved 3 weeks earlier. It was truly amazing and we enjoyed talking with a lovely british couple who now run a B&amp;B in Provence. Judy and the kids had a wet but fun time, as the weather had finally turned south.<br><br>                        <br>

I don't really need to tell you what we did do I? Take one part playground, one part beach, and one part sunset and you have a Kramer day in Biarritz.<br><br>            <br>

Judy spent the day with Pierre, a former wrestler and French Olympic wresting coach (he went with the team to Atlanta) who she had met on the train ride a few days ...

Between her and her mother, they make sure every need is taken care of...where to eat, even which direction to walk around town in order to get the best vistas. The best hostesses we've ever had.

We ordered Mejillones Vinegreta (mussels with onion vinagrette) some fried calamari and Patatas Bravas as well.
