A view of San Sebastián's swimming pier and beach. Looking toward the ocean from the harbour. Kayakers in the bay.

This building was finished with some very nice tile. We saw this in a few places in San Sebastián. The San Sebastián ccathedral, as viewed from the middle of the street. One of the lamp posts on the boardwalk.

A night view of the dock and municipal hall, with the statue at the top of Mount Urgull in the background. The San Sebastián beach at night. Inside a church.

The statue of the Sacred Heart at the top of Mount Urgull. Amy on a bluff overlooking the seafront. Me on the same bluff.

Looking down at the waterfront. Looking across the bay at Mont Igeldo. More kayakers just off the seafront.

This bulletin board was in the laundromat which is run by an Austrailan lady (who we didn't meet). The Comb of the Winds sculpture on the western end of the bay. The Comb of the Winds.

I'm not quite sure why the masonry was needed here... I climbed down the ladder to the water below, Amy has the other picture looking down. Some fish in the harbor.

A dinghy floating idly by the docks. The San Sebastián harbour. The beach at high tide.

I took this picture just for the coastline disappearing into the distance. View from the boat that went out to the ocean and then around the harbor a bit. Boats moored in the harbour.

Footprints in the sand on the beach at night. Nighttime beach scene. The Plaça de Constitución at night.

This was taken after a thunderstorm came through mid-afternoon and almost completely emptied the beach. Unfortunately I didn't get any lightning pictures. Waves by the seafront. Waves by the seafront.

Waves by the seafront. While I was sitting on the seafront I heard a clattering of tiny wheels on the stone roadway behind me. They are serious about their parking here. More waves by the seafront.

My feet dangling above the waves. A sailboat entering the harbour. A gate blocking access to some steps. The writing says something in Basque I think.
