Any time I travel, I try to seek out quieter areas in between visiting cities because I need need a break from people, noise and that amount of energy. Lucky for us, our good friend and host on this leg of the trip lives in an incredibly picturesque village in the Navarra province of northern Spain, about 45 minutes outside of San Sebastián.

On this trip I am taking you to Barcelona and San Sebastián in the Basque region of Spain. We will visit La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Montserrat, The Flysh Geopark in the Basque region, The Picasso Museum,Various neighborhoods in BCN, THE restaurant you need to dine at while you are in the Basqueland.,A fantastic brewery ,Hernani, A snippet on the ETA and the prisoners convicted of terrorism ( I ended up getting my hands on a flag from the resistance in northern Spain, collected clandestinely which is an interesting story and thinking back on it, I’m glad I didn’t get arrested at the airport lol).,The Basque History Museum. Hernani ,Goizueta ( a tiny and old village) ,Monte Igueldo in San Sebstian. Basically, a lot of interesting things to see and places to visit!
