Great content guys! Would love to see more from your travels. We are planning a trip to San Sebastian next June but have never travelled out of the US so we are a little intimidated.

Hello! I think I got the attention of that ship over there. I can lower the platform and get us down there. Hold tight until I can bring this platform back up.

Get on the platform!

Ah, San Sebastián: they told me it was the fairest littoral city in all Spain. Well, for setting, agreed. That cute wee curve of bay with the mini-islands is, indeed, reminiscent of a small-scale version of Rio. But the city? The truth? For me, it has about 3 streets and Plaza Consti. to see, but the rest is nothing but a sprawling, apartment-blockey bathetic let-down. Lift San Sebastián up, plonk it 200 miles inland and it would be what it really is: a vaguely modern-looking nondescript town with a rather small, but not unattractive, Old Town, based on one mildly attractive plaza, and, frankly, little else. Unless you like the pintxos bars.
