Spot 5: San Sebastian


We have arrived in San Sebastian already at half past midnight. Having our hardest day of driving schedule for the next day, it was imperative to spend the night already in Biarritz, leaving us little time to explore this city. So, when you have little time in a place, there is only one way of making it special: to do something special. So, I parked my buddy, took out my rollerblades and went for a in-lining night tour of San Sebastian. What a great choice! With my camera on one had and a beer in the other, I’ve easily explored the whole city centre in little less that 3 hours, repeating several spots more than once.
San Sebastian was with no doubts the most beautiful city visited so far and I can already say that it will remain in my top till the end of this long journey. The cost line is immense, starting close to the historical city centre and extending through a wide a long avenue, along which the number of impressive villas is remarkable. The old town are the theatre of one of the strongest “Movidas” I’ve ever experienced in Spain. It’s narrow and long streets, always leading to one of the many notable monuments, are full with thousands of people moving through the many bars that can be found there The main cathedral, across the main avenue coming from the old town is another spot that can not be missed. Summing up, in case you want to explore the Bask Country, San Sebastian should be elected as your hub.

Imagino a figurinha... A curtir a movida de patins.. só faltava a raquete debaixo do braço...

Continua a dar-lhe forte puto!
