Spanish Side Trip

To end this wonderful trip we have 5-days tootling in the area of the Bay of Biscay in Northern Spain with Christopher and Rosy. After flying into Bilbao and checking out the Guggenheim Museum we headed East to the lovely Old Town of San Sebastián.

We are really making the most of the summer days here (as you'll see by the skies and our clothing) before we return to the end of winter.

The dog decorated with fresh flowers outside the Guggenheim Musuem in Bilbao.

It was a hot hike to the top of Mount Urgall, but worth it for the fabulous view over San Sebastián. There's a museum up here showing some of the history of the Mount and the Old Town below, particularly a battle against the French, followed by the English.

The view from Mount Urgall with La Conch beach in the background where we spent most of the afternoon and I even had a go at paddle boarding for the first time. 

Flamenco street busker.

Tapas and sangria. We really are in Spain.

Our apartment had one of those clothesline where you worried you'd drop the clothes down on the street. Thank goodness I didn't have to run down three flights of stairs and retrieve anything.
