España y Francia—in just one day!!

Saturday morning, after the running of the bulls, we headed off to San Sebastián, which is located in País Basco (Basque country) on the coast of northern Spain. What an enchanting town—an incredible combination of mountains and sea. We soaked in the view at Playa de la Concha as we watched the sailboats and surfers. We strolled along the main street that is filled with cafés, bars, restaurants, and shops. Of course, I had some tortilla española with a Coca-Cola Light on the side. It was beautiful, I’m just sad that we couldn’t stay longer!

Wow, I didn’t expect to get to see France while I was here, but things just keep getting better! After San Sebastián we were off to Biarritz, Francia. GEORGEOUS!! Unfortunately, I cannot speak French, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying my time there for one minute! Despite the cold weather, the ocean was filled with swimmers and surfers. I took some time to relax and just sit in the sand and look around. I moseyed along the shore with a friend then we grabbed a late lunch and an ice cream cone. All of the chocolate and sweet shops were tempting…everything looked SO DELICIOUS! Today felt like a vacation within a vacation. After France, we got on our way back to Pamplona to do the running of the bulls AGAIN—I can’t believe that this goes on for seven days in a row!!!
