Just back from San Sebastian, or Donostia. We flew to Donostia on Monday, checked into our hotel and began exploring. We stopped in the main plaza for pintxos, infamous bite-sized versions of tapas, but of a style and artistic flare unique to the Basque region (a semi-autonomous region called Pais Vasco in Spanish or Euskadi in Euskara). Before we new it the locals were setting up for a celebration of San Juan (see San Sebastian slide show). After the dance, music and more food, we explored the town and turned in early. Tuesday, we hiked part of the Camino de Santiago, a famous pilgrimage route. The 16 km trek took us through a spectacular mountainous range with incredible views of the ocean and small farms. After our train ride back to Donostia we shopped, walked the town and ATE! Slideshow of San Sebastian
