We only went to San Sebastián for the food. The food is different, but they serve it a different way too. You walk into the restaurants and the food is already there, like a buffet, but not quite. The food isn’t like a meal, it’s more like five bite snacks. They’re called tapas. The thing to do in San Sebastián is to go to a lot of different tapas places in one night. Our family was there for two nights, just to have a break of trains until we went to Paris. We would walk around half the day, then we would eat the other half of the day. The food was really good and the food culture was really interesting. There was a lot of sardines, anchovies and cheese, It was so fun!

Spain was an amazing two and a half weeks. We finally got to try out our Spanish again. Our first stop was Tarifa, we were there for two nights. We went to the most southern part of Europe and walked around. The second stop was in Seville, we were there for three nights. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful cathedral and going on nice boat rides. We also did a cooking class and made paella ( a traditional rice dish) and gazpacho (cold soup). After Seville was Valencia, we were there for three nights. There was a super fun park called Goliver park, it’s a giant lying on the ground with slides everywhere. We also rented bikes, drove around the beautiful city and went to the aquarium.The next stop was Ribero Del duero, two nights also. We went to a lot of wineries and a very big castle. It’s a very small town with fifty people only. The next stop, was the beginning of the big Camino de Santiago (a six day hike, 125km). We got up early that morning and set off. The fun part was that you have buy a passport on the first day and collect stamps. Places you can get the stamps are restaurants, cafes, churches and hostels. The last day was tough because it was the longest and we were just so tired, but it was super fun. How good it felt when we arrived! The Camino is religious hike with a huge cathedral at the end. Most people start in Porto and end in Santiago. We started in Valença and ended in Santiago because we didn’t have enough time. At the end you get a certificate if you do more than 100km.
