144. San Sebastian, Spain. The best things to do in San Sebastian.

In this episode we’re heading back to one of our absolute favourite cities in Spain, San Sebastián. This beautiful Basque city on the Bay of Biscay has a bit of everything we love when we travel. Incredible food, stunning beaches, an easy-to-walk city centre and one of the best food cultures in Europe thanks to its famous pintxos bars. This was our second visit, and it confirmed what we already suspected… San Sebastián might just be Lyle’s favourite Spanish city. In today’s episode we wander through the Old Town, stroll along the famous La Concha promenade, take in the views from the surrounding hills, and talk about the pintxos culture that makes the city such a food lover’s paradise. Stay listening because we’ll also tell you about one of the most unusual, and honestly slightly gross sounding pintxos that we tried… and ended up absolutely loving. And we’ll explain why the fanciest hotelin town still has bullet holes in its walls.

We finally made it to Segovia… and instantly regretted not coming sooner. From the towering Roman aqueduct to the storybook castle and plates of seriously good food, Segovia delivers at every turn. In this episode we tell you the best time of day to visit the aqueduct, and a secret vantage point, oh plus a fantastic rooftop bar to take in the stunning view at night. We also walk through the main street, through Plaza Mayor, past the cathedral to the Alcazar that inspired Disney's Cinderalla Castle.

Ourense is one of those Spanish cities most travellers skip,and that’s one of the reasons why we loved it. Tucked away in inland Galicia, it’s an easily walkable city set along the Miño River, surrounded by green parks, shady trees and criss crossed by historic and modern bridges.In this episode, we talk about why Ourense is known asSpain’s thermal capital, how you can soak in natural hot springs right in the city, and which baths are worth visiting, including Termas de Outariz. We also cover the old town, the Roman roots of As Burgas, the riverside walks, and whystaying a few nights made all the difference.If you enjoy exploring lesser known Spanish cities, natural thermal baths, stunning landscapes and historical old towns, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk about how we spent four enjoyable days in this coastal city in north western Galicia. We did a walking tour that really helped us understand the city, found what we think is the best tapas area, with fantastic food, great atmosphere and very reasonable prices, and spent plenty of time just wandering. It is a very unusual Spanish city and we explain why in the podcast.We also walked part of the longest seaside promenade in Europe and visited the Tower of Hercules, the oldest Roman built lighthouse in the world that is still working today. It is simple, impressive and very much part of everyday life in A Coruña.If you would like to see all the pictures, maps and the tours we did then click here www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/141/acoruna
