Day 1: Biarritz to San Sebastian

Good afternoon from Spain. We have just arrived into San Sebastian after an exhausting day of biking. Due to the proximity we biked towards the water, there was a exorbitant amount of traffic we had to deal with.

Today we biked through four towns: Irun, Hendaye, Irun (which is in Spain) and San Sebastian , known as Donostia in euskara.

Their spice room with over 1400 spices from around the world







All of the Arzak's with our American friend Denise.

Tomorrow we head up Mt Igueldo, a roughly 900 ft climb to Zumaia and back. Igueldo twice shall be a test but we won't have any panniers.

From the both of us good night.
