I took a bus to the city on the coast about 1.5 hours away. What a beautiful city and day!
It originated as a fishing port and became a military stronghold. It was the last of the Basque area to be freed from French rule.


La Concha beach. Before I left I was able to sit in the water which was good as I walked a bit too much this day.

In the past, to rebuild the city after a devastating fire, they sold space in these apartments to watch events. Namely, bull fighting and executions by guillotine (when the French still ruled).




The walking tour through the old town was amazing! Great places to try Pintxos.
