During our short stay in Bilbao we took a day trip to San Sebastian, a popular beach resort and get away for wealthy spaniards being compared to the Hamptons in America. San Sebastian is an absolutely beautiful place however, upon arriving to the town to our dismay it was raining and an extremely gross day outside but that did not stop us from checking out the amazing town anyway. To the right is what San Sebastian should look like during the summer on a gorgeous day.... The bottom picture is what San Sebastian looked like they day we were able to visit....definitely not as nice :-(
However, it was still interesting to walk around and learn about the town. San Sebastian is a great surfing area for those who love huge waves. Standing on the edge looking over the water several feet up you will still get splashed by the force of the water and the large waves crashing into the rocks. Although the waves were not as big as normal when we visited here is a picture of what the waves have looked like and what they looked like when we visited. You get the idea of how forceful they can be any day of the week!
Although it was raining during most of our trip to San Sebastian we still made it out to be a great trip. I tried my first gelato here, flan flavored gelato, definitely one of the best things I have tried in Europe so far.

All of the trees in Bilbao and San Sebastian look like this!
