It rains a lot in Donostia. No one moves here for the weather. Since I've bought my bike, we have had few nice days where I could take it out for a spin around town. Yet, Saturday was glorious so we were up and out early for sun and fun. The bikes live in our parking garage, 3 stories below the ground. Just getting up the ramp and out the door, is a work out. Our parking spot makes it possible to keep bikes in this city. Many, many friends we know, take their bikes into their pisos at night. It's not uncommon to see bikes in the doorways of businesses during the day.

We headed straight for Ondaretta Beach via the Paseo. The bike paths that follow the beaches to Parte Viejo and beyond. It's one of the cities busiest paths, I would hazard. You've got locals whizzing their way to and from work, tourists unsure of any of the traffic lights, Fracking Glovo service guys pedaling in the speed of light, TONS of walkers and dogs under-wheel everywhere. It is an exercise of how long and slow can you stay on a bike before you fall over? But, boy it a beautiful ride beside La Concha Beach,
We handled 28km today. Pretty good for old people.
