Day 20 - To Pamplona for lunch & San Sebastian

13:00
We had a bit of a mooch through Zaragoza last night in a hunt for some dinner. Arriving at the time we did most places were serving bar snacks, not meals, or closing. But, that was OK, we still managed to find something and also had a wonder round the cathederal, which is really stunning.
Had a comfortable sleep in the car park, it was pretty safe. There were also several other campervans and motor homes doing the same.
 
We left about half an hour ago and are on our way to pamplona, about 170km from Zaragoza. I have found somewhere to stay tonight in San Sebastian, although if we like the look of Pamplona we may stay there.
 
Pamplona was very nice, we had a spot of lunch and opted for the "Menu Del Dia" which is popular around Spain for the budget conscientious, it was a lovely two course meal and a beer for €13. We had a nice wander around the town afterwards and scoffed an awesome ice cream....why are they never this nice back home?! We decided to crack on so since we found what looks like an Aires in San Sebastian.
 
The drive from Pamplona to San Sebastian wasn't long but wow was beautiful..lots of dramatic sceneray of the Pyrenees and lots of hills and tunnels..and the scary high bridges!
 
21:30
In San Sebastian...north Spain and we've met up with the sea again...Atlantic this time..weathers OK but not scorcharoo....only 23c this time...more clothes needed!! had a quick much around, went shopping and now at an actual Spanish Aires.
 
Not found many of these in Spain...tbh the Spanish are not as good at this Aire stuff like the French. But we have one that will do since the location is great.

Spot of in town supermarket shopping then back to set up camp...lots of footy fans wandering around so was quite busy. The beach is back and looks fantastic...very scenic here indeed.
 


 
See if you can spot Brett's (aka BlueMooner) Dad! lol
 
 
I was impressed with the meat hanging in the background, until I looked back on the pics and saw this guy had his best zoolander pose going...magnum
