San Sebastian

Bike Route: Lekeitio to San Sebastian, 48 miles, 2800 feet of climb

It rained all morning, but our ride was still excellent. We were on a small scenic highway through parkland along the coast for the first 20 miles. We did a lot of climbing, but the grades were all reasonable and we didn't have to walk even once. Ken did an outstanding job of weaving us through the suburbs of San Sebastian, jumping from bike trail to highway over and over again.

Our room in San Sebastian was in Old Town, on a noisy street full of restaurants. Fortunately, it was cool enough to close the shutters and windows, and then it was quiet enough to sleep.

We found the best tapas of the trip at a little tavern across the street from our room. After our dinner of little plates, we wandered Old Town and the harbor area. We went to bed fairly early. The rain and longer miles tired us out a bit.
