On the beach for our pub crawl in Zarautz

After the Running of the Bulls we got on the bus and headed towards Zarautz where we would be staying for the next two days. Zarautz is a small town in Basque country in Spain, not too far from San Sebastian. The bus ride took about two hours from Pamplona and once we got there in the afternoon we headed down to the local supermarket to pick up food and drinks for the night before going out to the main town along the beach for a pub crawl. The bars had beautiful views looking out along the beach and were perfect for watching the sun set over the water. We spent the night getting to know the others on our tour and swapping stories from the bull run while having a number of drinks. Eventually we headed back to the campsite and passed out in our tents after another long day.

The next day after breakfast we boarded the bus into San Sebastian where we tried some of the local tapas of which some of it was delicious, and some not so much. Afterwards we went to check out the beach, which again was beautiful with the sun out and blue skies. There wasn’t much that we really wanted to do so we wandered the city and checked out some of the buildings and did a bit of shopping before sitting down to have some lunch. Then it was back down to the beach to relax for a few hours before we made our way back to Zarautz for the evening. We made on more stop before we got on the bus and that was to get some delicious ice cream.

That night we headed into Zarautz where we had some paella which was one thing we wanted to do. It wasn’t as good as we had hoped though, but was still pretty good. Either way it was nice to be just sitting on the boardwalk looking over the beach and relaxing with some food and a drink on our last night before driving back to London.
