Sunday morning in San Sabastian. Have been here for a few days visiting friends Rose and Graham. They live in Vancouver and have rented an apt here for a month. It was a pleasant surprise to find the city is so easy to drive around, none of the hectic traffic of most cities and the people everywhere continue to be so genuinely friendly it's a delight to talk to them
Yesterday we spent some hours in the Basque Museum of San Telmo and rambled around the old city. Lovely parks and sitting areas, wide streets and a most congenial social scene. Of course the first walks here are to that glorious area where La Concha beach curves around the lovely bay
. Very impressed by the Sallida sculptures among the churning foam around the blow holes.
A nice ride on the funicular brought us to the complete view from above. Each house has an individual style of architecture.
Believe it or not each glass of wine (large) is no more than €1.50 and on Thursdays there's a free Pintxos (Basque Tapas) with each beer usually €2 for both. This city is famous for its terrific selection of these
Pals for so many many years
