Our last day in San Sebastian! :-(
We obviously had to do it right and go on a pintxo crawl for lunch. And we had a beautiful sunny day for it!!!
First stop: La Vida
(very hip)
Second Stop: Bar Borda Berri
(very local; only two stools in the whole joint - true stand-and-eat style)
DJ enjoying calimocho (from the Basque Kalimotxo) - wine mixed with Coke
mushroom risotto
pork rib
duck
Third Stop: Zeruko
(very artsy; perhaps they were inspired by Mugaritz? :-D)
ham and fish
chorizo crepe

After that, we wandered the town and the beach to soak in the sun and sights. Super relaxing!
Then, for our final meal on this visit to Europe we didn't have to travel far. The restaurant at our hotel is an up-and-coming success: Narru.
It was recommended that we make a reservation since the place is so small. So we opted for earliest possible time - 8:30pm (when they open) - since we had to be up early for our flight. Not surprising at this point, we were the only ones there for most of our meal. lol Ah, the late lifestyle of Spain.
Since it was a celebration of our time in Spain, we focused on ordering the ham.
Amuse-Bouche: sardine in virgin olive oil
(went perfectly with the bread that had just come out of the oven)
Appetizer: acorn-fed ham carrasco
(DJ's favorite ham on this trip)
Main Course: Iberian secret with mustard and Basque apples
(slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth goodness)
Dessert: pineapple with coconut
(light and very refreshing... possibly because we haven't had much tropical fruit lately. lol)

Bye, Europe. Adios, Espana.
Thanks for the best food ever! We shall return!!
