Our last stop in Spain was in San Sebastián or Donostia, as it is called in Basque. We parked a little bit outside of town and used the bikes to get into the city.
The parking area we used was next to an arena, which is empty when no event is going on. (43.297742, -1.970536 – there is even a service station under the bridge) From there we had to get the bikes over some stairs which led down from the bridge over the highway. Afterwards, we just followed the bike routes to the river Urumea, which we followed until we reached the sea. Soon we had the bay of San Sebastián called La Concha – the shell – in front of us.

We had spent so much time cycling around the city that we were too late even for Spanish lunchtime. A nice lady gave us indications where to find Pintxo bars, which would serve around the clock. We found a very nice one and were happy to dig in with all the interesting Pintxos available.
