Road to San Sebastian, Spain

 
Sunflower fields in South West France.
 
We had a lovely drive down from La Rochelle through Gascony and into the Basque region of San Sebastian, Spain. It is an amazing little beach resort town with a beautiful shell shaped bay called La Concha and an old town bursting with colorful tapas bars which here the snacks are called pintxos (Peen-chohs).  We just got our feet wet on our first afternoon but we are getting ready for a little Txiquiteo (chih-kee-Tay-oh) which means (hoping from bar to bar eating the tasty pintxos) tomorrow!
