We've been spending the last few days up North in the Basque region of Spain, more specifically, the city of San Sebastian -- also called Donostia, depending on with whom you are speaking. Allow me explain: the País Vasco region of Spain is one of the three regions in the country that has its own language they prefer to use instead of Spanish. In fact, if a certain percentage of the Basque population had things their way, they wouldn't even be part of Spain, and instead form its own little nation.
The city of San Sebastian is much smaller than Barcelona and located right on the water -- a nice break from the big city. Since it's so close to France, we've noticed a good number of French vacationers in addition to the myriad of other Europeans walking around the narrow pedestrian streets of the old town, soaking up the sun on the beaches, and enjoying gelato and coffee at the many local cafes -- pretty much the same activities that we've been doing the last few days. Tomorrow we're off to Madrid to hit up another big city, wish us luck in Spain's capital! Hasta luego!
