San Sebastian

Made it out of Bordeaux and onto the autoroute bound for Spain. Landed in San Sebastian (credit to all the cool places we visit in Spain goes to Juanvi) and found a campsite that also doubled up as a building site = no sleep ins. First day we just popped into town of an early evening and got supplies for our first campsite dinner, and joined the general promenading the locals seemd to be doing. Next day we explored the lovely beaches, the gorgeous old town (Parte Veija) and Monte Urgull, a hill/fort that overlooks the old city. The city was only ever conquered twice, the second time being freed by Anglo-Portugese forces from Napoleon, although they accidentally burnt almost the whole city down in the process. There´s an english cemetry on Monte Urgull for gratefulness (not ironic), and the only street to survive was renamed 31 August St to commemorate the day... There´s a massive Statue of Christ above the fort (and hence the city) as well - we´ll add a photo later.
That evening we went back into the Parte Veija for the Pintxos - local version of tapas that you get at bars. It´s all laid out on the bar looking tasty, and you laregly help yourself. We thought they would keep track of what we ate, so it was a bit of a recall session at the end of the night when they asked what we ate & drank...
