Spain travel recommendations.
San Sebastian - Michelin Food and Natural Beauty ||| When you come to San Sebastian, Spain, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, the most important thing not to miss is the various food! This city is not only the host of the famous San Sebastian International Film Festival, but is also known as the "Michelin Culinary Capital".
Delicious Pinxos (Spanish tapas), a specialty of the Old Town, cost around €2.30 each. The most interesting way is to "eat and shop". Buy 1-2 at each store and taste them slowly. You can experience various flavors to your heart's content without having to eat your fill in one store.
After enjoying the delicious food, you can walk directly to the foot of Eagle Mountain along Moon Bay to Eagle Cable Car, which takes about half an hour. Walk along the seaside and enjoy the unparalleled sea views along the way.
The cable car ticket for Eagle Mountain is 4.5 euros per person. There are two activities you must experience when you reach the top of the mountain - rafting boats and roller coasters. The rafting boat costs 2.5 euros and the roller coaster costs 3 euros. Although the excitement is not high, the scenery is more charming, especially the top of the mountain overlooking the entire San Sebastian and Shell Bay. The panoramic view is picturesque and very spectacular.
Warm tip: If you feel that the accommodation prices in San Sebastian are on the high side, you can spend a day here during the day and take the last train at 20:50 to stay in Bilbao in the evening. This is also a good choice.

The best views of San Sebastián
San Sebastián in the heart of the Basque Country is well known as a food lovers paradise. Whilst in the city, those looking for that perfect photo opportunity should head to the funicular railway up Monte Igueldo. The historic train ride will lead you up to not only spectacular views over the city for less than €5 return but also an amusement park hosting a scary looking roller coaster on the edge of the mountain.

I took the Igeldo cable car to Monte Igeldo parque⛰️
It only takes a few minutes to reach the top, but the scenery on the way there was so beautiful and memorable~
The wooden cable car has been around since the 20th century, so both the facility and the cable car had a sense of history☺️
