Between visiting the vineyards we stopped in this beautiful village. The main attraction being of…read morecourse the old castle and church on the hilltop. It's not a long walk from the Plaza Mayor (main square) where you can find plenty of free parking lots scattered throughout the village, but pretty steep at times, so it's a bit difficult with strollers and near impossible if you have a wheelchair (you could park close to the top though - but very limited spaces). The views from the top are amazing. Overlooking La Rioja....it's quite the sight. There are several buildings and ruins you can visit up here. And most amazingly it's free. The Clock Tower really stands out as well as the Torre Mayor. In the center there's the impressive church of Santa María la Mayor. You can walk around the church, so you will see most sights up here this way. You also can climb up to the watchtower. The valley views are amazing. But equally amazing is the architecture. Some still fully intact...some turned into ruins over the centuries. We were surprised that - on this wonderful sunny day - not many visitors were here. Besides us only another couple was on the site. Of course great for us, so we enjoyed this place almost for ourselves, but also a pity, that so many folks seem to miss out on this Castillo. It's a wonderful thing to visit besides all the vineyards. Highly recommended!

El Peine del Viento ('The Wind Comb') is a collection of three steel sculptures each weighing over…read morenine tons. These pieces have been positioned in the place where the city of San Sebastian ends and the sea begins, where the waves embrace the escarpments of Monte Igeldo. Eduardo Chillida, the artist, anchored the three sculptures to the rocks, so that the incoming wind would be continually 'combed' at La Concha Bay. This is a place where the wind and the sea beat together, it's most likely one of the most famous landmarks in Donosti. From the old town, it can be reached by foot (about 30-35 minutes) following the beach (starting at La Concha and heading away from the city) or by urban bus. Beautiful and serene, this is a nice sight !

Wondering through the old downtown and stumbled upon Bar Sport. It was bustling with activity this…read moreFriday night. I was still able to belly up to the bar and grab some tapas and drinks. I had a crepe filled with crab meat salad. The crepe was nice, but the crab had a bit much sauce for my liking. Still not bad though. The breaded cod tapa was nice. I love the peppers and the light breading. The salmon wafer was my favorite. Overall, pretty good tapas and a vibrant scene. Worth a visit.
