The lights from the Promenade on the water.

San Sebastian is truly a beautiful city. Even at night the lights shimmering on the water were a sight to be seen.

Watching the Sunset on the Promenade

Sipping on a cold beer and watching the sun set over the harbor ain't a bad way to finish the day. Plus one had to store up some energy for the evening.

Pretty Harbor sets the tone

What a jewel of a place! A five minute cab ride from the bus station to my hotel and I was ready to relax.

I splurged and took a suite at the Hotel d' Londres overlooking La Concha beach. Off to the right was the harbor.

I only scheduled two days to recuperate from the festivities of the St. Fermin Festival in nearby Pamplona. I should have scheduled two weeks.
