Pinxos is Basque for
tapas which is Spanish for amazing bite sized foods that should be consumed more frequently in the United States. San Sebastian, the next leg of the trip with my Dad, is known for their incredible
pinxos and bar culture in general. Apparently, there are more bars per capita in San Sebastian than anywhere else in the world! I'm not 100% sure if that's true, so don't quote me on it.

BEHOLD! You get a plate and then are allowed to load up
as much as you want. Seconds are encouraged. |
San Sebastian has captured the hearts of nearly every person I know who has been lucky enough to travel there. Reviews from "the prettiest city in Spain" to "my favorite place in Europe" to "the absolute shit!" pretty much led me to believe that I was also going to love this city before I ever set foot on those cobbled streets. There is something intangible about San Sebastian that makes everyone love it. Maybe it's the bar and pinxos culture, or the
playa concha (shell shaped beach around which the city is built), or the incredibly picturesque old zone, or laid back surfer-ish vibe of the city. Whatever it is, I want more of it. San Sebastian, you will see me again!

Deciding to celebrate my dad's birthday in San Sebastian

Beachcombing! I found an incredible
amount of beach glass. |
