San Sebastián II, Spain

I went back to San Sebastian for a second trip to explore the city instead of the beach...

The northern coast of Spain.

Doggy friend we made. I can’t remember his name but he was a very good boy.

When the trees here lose their leaves, they look so weird! Almost like they belong in Harry Potter.

The Sagrado Corazón statue (“Sacred Heart”).

Views atop Monte Igueldo, which we ascended via funicular.

San Sebastián tarta de queso (cheesecake). One of the best tartas de queso I’ve had in Spain, which are the best in the world (in my opinion). This one is particular is from a popular bar called La Viña, but I think it tasted pretty similar to other ones in the area.

More San Sebastian in the Spring

I returned and decided that I had not tried enough food! San Sebastian was one of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite European cities and I was determined to find out why. I forgot to take photos at the best restaurant, named La Cuchara.

The softest scallops with a yogurt and seaweed sauce

A spoonful of lobster!

Artichokes in a summer squash sauce

Meatballs and potatoes

Calamares sandwich! So good, but I recommend always getting salsa picante (spicy) with any calamares dish.
