Blogs from San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain, Europe - page 24

we arrived by train in san sebastian at about 10:30 last night. the city is beautiful at night. it´s in north east spain right on the ocean. the town is divided by a river and the bridges glow. we didn´t have any trouble finding our hostel, thank goodness. we dumped our stuff off and went out to explore what this place has to offer at night...which is a lot! everyons is so nice and we felt completely safe...but mom, you´ll be happy to know that we were still cautious :) we started out at this really weird bar that was full of what seemed to be 12 year old...it was so bazaar. we left that one and fell into a metal bar...that was an experience. made me - tara - miss josh more than ever. ... read more

La visita ad Andorra ha prodotto risultati devastanti. Per la seconda volta in meno di un anno il rapido cambio di altitudine e il conseguente cambio di pressione hanno ridotto il mio corpo ad un ammasso di macerie. Dev’essere qualcosa collegato ai condotti nasali e uditivi e forse dovrei consultare un medico. Ma, tant’è, la due giorni Andorrana si è trasformata in un incubo. Poche ore dopo il mio arrivo a La Vella ho incominciato ad accusare malori che mi hanno costretto dapprima a una visita in farmacia e quindi alla resa totale accettando alloggio in un hotel da 50 euro a notte pur di potermi difendere dagli ormai incontrollati tremori della febbre. E vi assicuro che in normali circostanze mi farei tagliare un piede piuttosto che sborsare 50 euro per un letto. Al Sant Jaume, ... read more

I really should be studying right now. But I just know you are all dying to see my gorgeous pictures of San Sebastián. Well, let me first give you a little advice . . . when taking a train always get there on time (I learned this MANY, MANY times as I tend to go stay out too late the night before a departure OR just get on the wrong metro . . . those things each only happend once I promise . . . ) Anyway, besides having to get to the train station on time, you also have to guess what train it is. Now, I now you might think is says what train it is on the ticket, and it does. But in some places like, SPAIN for example, what it SAYS and ... read more

so yea, i have a huge headache and don't really feel like writing a lot, but at least there's some pictures for you all to see. its funny how as i type this i keep wanting to start typing certain things in spanish, which in reality is awesome and means that i'm going to speak 'de la puta madre' - that is to say, awesomely. so we went to saint sebastian and it was immediately apparent that we were going to like that city the best. getting off to bus we basically followed a sign that said 'centro' and, as luck would have it, the first pension we checked had a room for 5 people for 20 euros a person per night. so yea, that night one of the guys we met in santander joined us, ... read more

San Sebastion is a largely arrogant city that knows it is good. The beaches exude cool and the nightlife is rampant. We hadn´t had time to do our homework on this city - but San Sebastion offered more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe... and we thought it was only fair to put that to the test. I learnt two things from visiting this northern part of Spanish coastline. Firstly, that St.Bedes boys, are travel sluts. For the third time in as many countries we shared a hostel with boys that either knew us, our brothers, or one of our former girlfriends. Small world. Secondly, I believe that there is a real market for the sale of bikini tops in this part of the world. It became increasing obvious that women come to ... read more
