After spending eight days volunteering to teach English to Spaniards with Diverbo (more on that later), Ben and I were looking forward to some rest in San Sebastian. Rest isn’t exactly what we got in the gorgeous “Up all night” city, but we did manage to get a nice ~10 km hike in from San Sebastian to the tiny town of Pasajes San Juan.
The lush green landscape is reminiscent of Northern California, except with better weather. We started the hike just north of Playa Zurriola and went straight up for several kilometers. After hiking for about 2 hours we took the ferry (€ .70 each) to the town of Pasajes for some lunch.
