On Friday, David and I took a 4-hour hike on the mountainside. Recurring thought for the day:
I can't believe we're hiking without a coat in December! After a few days of postponing due to rain, Friday was an amazing day. I wore 2 long-sleeve shirts and a vest, and mostly had my sleeves rolled up because it was warm enough walking in the sun.
The first hill (Mt Ulia) admittedly left me out of breath. But from then on, it was less steep and relatively smooth. The trail wraps around the mountains, with almost constant views of the ocean. We stopped for lunch on a cliff with almost 180º of sea views. We walked all the way from Donostia to Pasaia. In reality, it's not that far, especially noted as we rode the bus back and it took about 15 minutes. It only makes me hungry for more hiking though! Some photos:
