Donostia – San Sebastián part 2!!
It’s a pleasant 6 km ride through the green forest hills and into stunning San Sebastian, or Donostia in Basque.
The caravan park also provides a free bus shuttle going regularly down to the local bus where it’s a short trip into the town centre.

Studying the maps the following morning ….after, yes, a wonderful peaceful sleep at the cemetery, we decide to head to San Sebastián , or Donostia in Basque language .

Mark was particularly keen to visit the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, so we head off.

It looks like high-density living down there for sure!
