Birthday celebrations in our favourite culinary destination.

Well hello Donostia! Beautiful day by the beach

Lunch at a pintxos bar in central Donostia. Cheers! grin This place is OK, but none of the old town ambience we love.

Dusk stroll by La Concha... aka. the beach at San Sebastian.

Fresh pintxos: beef cheeks, octopus, pork ribs & spider crap couscous. Super tender meat. Unique flavours. Yum!

Obligatory Donostia stop... La Vina for basque cheesecake. OMG... delicious as ever! Nom!

After dinner stroll by La Concha beach & it's sparkly lights. Ooooh... pretty...

In Donostia for my birthday so obligatory run in town & along beachfront. Set a 10km PR. Not bad for an old bloke!

It's my birthday & I'll have banoffee pie with our coffee for brunch if I want to! Love this cafe, yum! grin

Lunch @ Gorila. Bacon in a bao bun, pork & mango curry & Taiwanese duck. Delicious! And a birthday beer... cheers! grin

Didn't have dessert with our Asian lunch sooooo... super thick hot chocolate, coffee & churros instead. More yum!

Few more random Donostia shots...

San Sebastian drum parade (Tamborrada) is shortly after our visit. Saw many groups in the streets practising. #Loud!

More delicious pintxos & beer @ La Cuchara de San Telmo. V.quiet off season - has queues across the street in summer!

Breakie pt 1: light snack @ Danena Taberna. Just a few more pintxos

Breakie pt 2: Sadly our fave cafe in the old town has closed, but struggled through with coffee & cake elsewhere!
