73. Spainish

San Sebastián

Last day in France so we explored a little of Spain, San Sebastián, via Hondarribia which is on the border.  If it weren't for the GPS rudely interrupting the trashy Spanish radio, booming YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SPAIN, and putting the appropriate flag on the screen in the Disco as we drove across the bridge over the Bidasoa Inlet we wouldn't have known we were crossing the border.

San Sebastián, from the playground

Both Hondarribia and San Sebastián are lovely with the later being much bigger than we were expecting.  For some reason we thought San Sebastián would be smaller than Biarritz. Driving through these towns is an absolute joy and there is more to explore than we can possibly achieve though we do need to step up our levels of exploring.

On the way home we topped up with diesel as we had heard it is significantly cheaper however it was €1.155/l which is similar to France.

Have agreed with the lovely MacDonalds that we will head past Santander tomorrow as the weather is deteriorating and we are keen to get to the west coast so looking at a five hour drive, with stops. As we have yet to pack anything it will be a busy morning.
