Lunch in San Sebastian


Set off for the Coast this morning, with the intention to visit a couple of towns or cities either side of the border and have lunch.  Our momentum carried us first to San Sebastian (just south of the border), where we got tied up in knots by Garmin and worried about missing lunch.  But not to worry!  Parked the car, walked in the rain to an area rich with restaurants and selected "La Muralla."  Turned out to be a great choice-- the 24 Euro menu included an aperitif, appetizer, main and dessert, plus coffee and wine.  Betty was having fish and I ordered steak, so it was white wine for her and red for me.  Next thing you know, here comes the waitress with our wine-- a bottle of white for Betty and a bottle of red for me!  Two further points.  1) neither of us finished our bottles and 2) our day was over, with the only two tasks remaining-- to find the car in the immense underground parking garage with multiple entrances and to drive the 90 minutes home.  The first was pretty tough.  The second came off without a hitch.

Here's a couple of shots of San Sebastian:




But I really like this shot of a small river we crossed on the way home in the fading light:

Lunch in San Sebastian sounds like my kind of thing. Did you take the bottles home? I would assume that's a good deal more doable than here.
