Our last day in San Sebastian...
We skipped breakfast (oh no) as I slept in quite late, and we had a lot of things to do today. Museum, Jesus, Aquarium, Tapas crawl.

Arzak - our last Spanish star...
Turns out I am getting a cold :( What else to cheer me up but by having the most awesome breakfast ever?
Mugaritz is magic...
So after yesterdays fantastic meal in Francy-land (of all places), we weren’t too sure how todays lunch was going to go.
Awesomeness in France...
Today began as any other day does in San Sebastian, heading to La Tahona for the most awesome breakfast ever.
A bit underwhelmed at Akelarre...
Once again, the most awesome breakfast ever.
Most awesome breakfast ever...
First thing on the agenda - finding the most awesome breakfast place ever.
Churros - and road trip to San Sebastian and doppelgangers...
So we woke up, checked out and headed to Chocolat, my favourite churros place. This time the churros were fresh and the place was packed. What’s worse, it was packed with Australians :(
Segovia aquaduct and Alcazar...
Today was the day for a small day trip to Segovia, about an hour from Madrid. And also Dad’s 60th Birthday - Happy Birthday Dad!
More fun in Madrid - Santceloni...
Another day of walking around Madrid and not eating much in preparation for our dinner.
Ramon Freixa - epic...
Today we went on a few walks and tried some new churros at Chocolateria San Gines - crappy service, average churros. Will be going back to the other place, Chocolat another day.
Diverxo - but no photos...
Today we had lunch at a cool Asian/Spanish fusion place called Diverxo. However they don’t allow photos, so you can’t see the cool food we ate. It used a lot of XO sauce and had a lot of familiar tastes that remind us of dim sum and chinese cooking.
Madrid, I heart your churros...
We decided to go for another churro hunt, and found this place called Chocolat not far from our hotel. It was delicious - we got a pot of melted chocolate, freshly squeezed orange juice and churros. The churros weren’t fresh ( as in the last 10 mins) but were still tasty. As was the chocolate and orange juice.
Road trip - Sevilla to Madrid...
We headed off to Madrid (a nice 5ish hr drive) and stopped off and grabbed a few things for lunch.
Last full day in Sevilla - churro hunt...
So today was our last day in Sevilla. Churro hunting was the name of the game.
Feeling hot in Sevilla...
Boy was it hot today.
Plankton and algae and microalgae - oh my...
This was our first full day in Sevilla and we had a reservation at a place called Aponiente, which is about 1.5 hours to the south, on the southern coast of Spain. If you wanted to, you could catch a boat over to Morocco. But we had places to be, plankton to eat.
Road trip - Valencia to Sevilla...
This was about a 7ish hour drive so we left around 9am and headed across. For some reason this area has lots of sunflowers - sunflower fields and solar panel fields. It is very strange.
Road trip again - Barcelona to Valencia...
After eventually getting out of our hotel (half and hour wait in reception to get through 2 couples in front of us) we headed to Valencia, about a 4 hr drive from Barcelona.
Churros, no chocolate and Paco Meralgo...
Last time in Barcelona we found a cool churros place that makes churros for you, and then a few doors down you can get a hot chocolate to dip them in. So that was the mission of the day.
Road trip - Monaco to Barcelona...
We slept in a little the next morning and had a nice breakfast at the hotel near my Russian friend. I met him the night before while I was waiting for Ben to grab our passports (you need them to enter the Casino, citizens of Monaco are not allowed in). He was coaching his friend on how to sell their idea to some Minister or something - it was quite interesting.
