First stop was to pick-up our guide, Esther. Then it was off to the Miramar Palace. This was where the Spanish royalty stayed when they were visiting San Sebastian. It sits on top of a hill and has a beautiful view of the area.
Here we are enjoying are pintxos while chatting with a Californian we met there, On the right is Katy, the, owner of the restaurant - an unbelievable 89 years old.
After our pintxos repast, we took a short stroll back to the car and with our driver, Jesus, we started our journey back to Bilbao. We took the shore route for a while and Jesus stopped at one of the towns so we could have a drink and look around. We went into a small cafe on the docks and I was able to get a few interesting pictures. I don't know what the big "tubes" are. They appear to have ropes coming out of them.
