Pyrenees
This has been on my bucket list for so long! Ironically it rained during most of our stay but we made the best of it. We stayed in the most cozy yurt, and found that a fun rainy activity was exploring the caves. The Pyrenees is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to, I can’t believe people live in this paradise!
We stayed in this little yurt, which was essentially 10/10 glamping. Despite the treacherous road to get here, we would come back in a heartbeat
San Sebastian
We crossed over to Spain arriving in San Sebastian.
Influenced by Anthony Bourdain (he has said there is no better place to eat in Europe!) we went on a mission to eat all the pintxos and basque cheesecake we could find.
This unbelievably beautiful city has it all. The natural beauty with beaches and hills with car free Parte Vieja (Old Town) nestled in, it was truly a delight to wander around and get lost.
It was my first time exploring Basque Country. I did try learning some basic phrases in Euskara: Kaixo! Zer moduz? but I found it was best to just struggle with Spanish lol.
Amazing meal at Arzak which I had been fantasizing about since seeing Anthony Bourdain’s A Cooks Tour. It is an exquisite modern take on Basque cuisine and we even got to meet Elena Arzak whom I admire. Definitely one for the books!
