We went to San Sebastian thinking it would be a beach town with lots of people at the beach, but it turned out the length of time we were there was cold, rainy, and windy. But we ended up having the best pinxos, and had a day trip to Bilbao.
Best pintxos we tried the first night. Zazpi, the waitress there explains everything to us and showed us the way. I had no idea Basque country is so different from the rest of Spain. This was an eye opener experience for me.
Windy and rainy... but we still managed to walk to the beach.

The city hall
We did a pinxos tour and had the most amazing experience with the locals and other tourist
Places we tried included Borda Berri, Sport, and back to Zazpi. This is where I was introduced to non sweet cider and love it!
The next day we took the bus to Bilbao. Bilbao is a bigger city than San Sebastian. It houses the famous Guggenheim Bilbao.
