Spain Part 1

OK from Paris we headed south through France to San Sebastian, Spain. As I have previously mentioned we were hoping to relax and unwind from all our walking and churches and museums, by laying on the beach in the sun...
One problem, it was 16 and raining. A little cooler than the weather we have has so far!

To keep out of the elements, we headed to the bars. As you can see the selection of Tapas was hughe. The salmos was Shannons favourite, while Sean won´t be selecting the pate with raw egg yolk again!


The beaches in San Sebastian were beautiful, and all the postcards show them packed full of visitors...not today!

We walked aroun to the other end of the main beach to see the very appropriately named Wind Combes.

Managed to also make it to a food and wine festival.

Next stop in Spain was Madrid. Much warmer down here. A very relxed feel to this city. Only spent two nights, and managed to see two girls get their bags stolen. We are being very careful with our things.


Next stop was Toledo. A very nice little town on the top of a hill. The Cathedral was very nice.

Cathedral again.

Seans favourite bar so far. 1.60 euro beers and free plates of tapas. I don´t think he will ever want to leave!

Spains country side is beautiful. This one was taken from the trian window.
