Yesterday we went to San Sebastian with a flu bound Geoff. All the others went to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim museum there. They came home tired but impressed by what they had seen - the drive was 2.5 hours each way so I am glad we only did the hour to SS.
San Sebastian is a Atlantic coast city, in our opinion a cross between the Gold coast and Cannes! Picturesque beaches with lots of older people walking the beach with film stars arriving in limousines for a Spanish film festival. Dira mixed it up with the paparazzi to get a photo. We were hoping for Penelope Cruz or Javier Bardem but got the cast of a movie pan negres (black bread). Maybe it will be an international success and we can sell the pic to Who magazine!
Being in Spain, tapas was definitely on the menu for lunch! Went to a great district, centuries old and full of locals eating tapas at the bar. We went in and selected platefuls of tapas, sat down, ate with gusto and went back for some more! Prawns featured a lot as did ham, both staple foods in France and Spain.
Out to dinner last night at a local restaurant with the usual scrumptious food like canard confit, seafood - fish with garlic and tiny black mussels and creme caramel to top it off.
