We were last here eight years ago with Al and Cheryl and had a wonderful time. It was our introduction to Spain and inspired us to return again this year. This time Tony and Judy are here as well, both love food and cooking as much as we do, so lots and lots of tasting and discussing the amazing food here. Mornings spent browsing around the beautiful city, meeting at lunch for Tapas grazing around the bars of SS, along with a few glasses of the most wonderful wine.
We have survived three days of Tapasing in San Sebastian – just! There’s just so much food you can fit in and still stay upright. I’ll let the pictures tell the story, well some of them anyway!
Blokes and Birds from Broke -
our first night together! Down in the Port area, and sea food of course!
Hake
Monk fish - not pretty but delicious!
It really is fantastic, even better, if possible, than we remembered! Beautiful food and wine, bar after bar, taste and sip after siiiiip! A snooze after lunch, a walk around the beautiful bay, meeting again for drinks before finding somewhere interesting for dinner. Spaniards don't even think of eating before 9, so it's late to bed to start all over again.... we're bearing it, just!

We did fit in a little exercise in an attempt to counter the consumption – would probably have to walk to Denmark though, to counter the food!
Another fabulous time, and we hope another before long. Memories are truly made of this.
Tonight finds us in Bilbao, still with the Broke battalion, who knows what's for dinner?
I think you should have Chinese for dinner ;)
