San Sebastian has proved to be too good to be true. We can sleep in til 10, beach til 3pm, eat an amazing lunch, siesta and then party and crawl our way through Pintxo (tapas) until the wee hours of the morning. Then do it all again the next day. And not feel slightly guilty!
Whilst in San Sebastian there has been the annual nagusia festival, AKA the BIG week! Basically the week consists of street performers on every corner, marching bands competing through the streets, large cartoon men with inflated heads that WHACK the children with sausage looking balloons and concluding with fireworks each night. Which kinda explains why booking accommodation had originally proved to be such a nightmare, and expense! On top of this we spent plenty of time relaxing on the beach, eating loads of REALLY good tapas and enjoying some quiet time.
Today we checked out of our hotel early and have spent the day catching up on the much neglected sightseeing including the Cathedral, Mount Urgull and a large statue of Christ, cause he goes off at night! Tonight we are on an overnight first class train to Barcelona and will get in around 9am. 
One of our favourites, mainly because of the flare in service from behind the bar.
