Rishi and Bens' Adventures in Spain!!

We have just spent the last four days in heaven! Well, San Sebastian :-) As a special treat I had pre-booked a beautiful apartment for us (it was our nine year anniversary after all!!). It was soooooo nice. Right on the river on the sixth floor with views out to the ocean. Bliss!
Here is a photo of us on the balcony:

And Ben took another of just me:-)

and a night time shot of our view!

and some of the interior

It was a huge contrast to some of the places we have stayed in lately. Some have been quite yuck! Added bonus was having a kitchen. Such a luxury to be able to cook up some good (healthy) food. Spanish food is great..... but sometimes the grease gets a bit much. We did go out for a great meal in San Sebastian though. And we also found a fantastic bar which we went to for lunch every day!

While we were there the International Film Festival was on, right on our street! So we made sure to go and see a film each day which was great! Samuel L Jackson was there but we missed him. Saw his film though ¨Cleaner¨ which was really good. And we got to go on the red carpet. Woohoo! hehe

Its been a while since we posted a blog, and we have visited many places since then, so these are going to be short but sweet! Logroño definately deserves its own blog though. This was one place we were definately looking forward to visiting. It is in the hear of La Rioja, one of Spains premiere wine districts. It is most well known for its reds, so Ben was very happy to be visiting. The town itself was a delight! It was really beautiful, and it was here that we enjoyed our best ever tapa crawl night out! There is some seriously good food and wine to be had.

One of the first stops of the night was here:

Fantastic Pinchos Morunos washed down with vino

Next Stop!

A view of the street:

There was a block of three streets just packed with tapa bars!
And to end the night, the BEST tortilla in Spain. Sooooo good. This place was heaving!

Logroño also had free city bikes, so we made use of those during the day :-)
