The cave is a lie



After taking Willow to the little hotel playground for a morning play, we set off up the hill to get a cultural experience at the Cave of Altamira. I'd seen signs for it in town and was pretty excited. It was a pretty hefty hike up to the attraction especially with Willow attached to me in the carrier.








After getting the billetes for 3 of the euros, we went to the cave. We soon realised that the cave with the rock paintings was permanently closed. Another attraction which was signed was the cave of stalictites, this was also closed. We went back to the main area and just went through the museum which had a fake cave that "everybody could enjoy". Apparently it was open until the late 70s but they realised people were ruining it, so they closed it up to everyone but archaeologists.


With the days cultural experience done we walked around the old town then went for dinner at the Castello Bar to watch some more world cup. We had a lobster with rice in broth which was awesome.





I didn't expect this 


Hello lobster my old friend 

The next day we drove to San Sebastian, stopping in at Castro Urdialas. It was a beautiful town and we had lunch at Asador El Puerto. Which was another seafood rice for a change but with clams this time.






After getting to San Sebastián and getting settled into our accommodation we went to the old town for some nice eating. We got a lean to table at our old favourite, a fuego negro. We are pleased to report the food was still spectacular six years on from our first visit.
