I couldn't wait to arrive, the Basque country side in Northern Spain.
Pintxos or 'small plates' of tapas adorn most bar tops in this quaint old Euro holiday destination, that is San Sebastian. Money has come and gone, and come again to this Spanish sea side town. Blue and white striped umbrellas and sun kissed Euros are the majority. We settle into the relaxed lifestyle easily, as most Aussies do. The food and beers flow freely, and the warm European summer has us feeling slightly fuzzy after a few Spanish beverages. The highly social and relaxed nature of the Spaniard is enviable and the pintxo bars work on an honour system where you pay at the end of your time based on the number of pintxos you have eaten or as it's called the 'toothpick' system. It's adorable and fun at the same time. Even the un-foodiest friend will enjoy this Basque tradition.
