Autumn 2018

As we were next to the service station we upped left early and headed for Bermeo. Windy road again but a bit more room today. Had a walk about town during the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are definitely social days here in north Spain.

Once the Spanish had decided to stop chatting alongside our van we finally got to sleep. Drove along the coast road to Lekeitio, windy and narrow at times but interesting. Lunch out today and swim after to try and sober up.

Drove the 20 minutes along the coast to Zumaia. Rode our bikes through the town and onto the Itzurun beach with it’s fantastic cliffs. The rock formations are called the Flysch here and show about 50 million years of the earths geological history.

We left our very windy forest in search of the big smoke, San Sebastián. Arrived at the Aire and it’s closed, so where to now. Zarautz was plucked from the Aires book and off we went. Had a good day playing in the surf, walking and riding taking in the sights. Quick supermarket shop and we final

Decided it was time to hit Spain. There was a free Aire just inside Spain in the hills and we thought we would start there. Didn’t bank on Co Pilot taking us up steep, single track concrete roads to a dead end. Found the right way in the end!
