A short while later the train started climbing. The rocky terrain started to disappear and the land was green and lush. I saw many small farms, some with a large number of horses. To my surprise there were a lot of sheep farms! I wasn't quick or close enough at any time to get a photo. I saw more flocks of sheep in this short journey than I had in Romania! Such beautiful countryside.
When I arrived in San Sebastian, making my way along the canal to the old town, this is what I saw.
The waves would come crashing in from the ocean, breaking up when entering the canal. It was a sight to see!
Looking back from where I had walked, this is the view.
Making my way to the tourist info centre, I saw....McD's,
in another cool building!
I checked into my accommodation, then went for a stroll on the beach, La Concha. Beautiful! People were walking and jogging on the beach. Kayakers and surfers were practicing their skills on the waves.
Later I walked along the beach back towards old town. These are some of the things I saw on my way.

I spent a lot of time walking along La Concha beach or the promenade. I was glad I had taken the time to see San Sebastian. The staff in Barcelona had said it was way to cold however it was not to cold. I believe the town and surrounding area was pretty in any season. I had walked around the point many times however one day the weather had changed. The roadway had been blocked off by the police as the waves were high & coming over walk path & road. Some people were still walking on the far side so I ventured out also. The force of the wind was so strong when I came around the point I couldnt move forward. A short time later a wave came over the wall getting me wet, that was it, I was going back to dry out! Here some pictures of the waves & walk area.
I took a walk up to Mount Urguall to see La Mata Castle. There were many paths one could take on the way up.
