Unfortunately I had to spend most of the day on the bus. In the morning i had a bit of a walk around Vigo but sadly it was raining so I didn't do too much. The bus for Lisbon left at 1.30pm and arrived at 8.30pm. I was a bit overwhelmed initially when i got off the bus, because although I've been to big cities on this trip, Lisbon is by far the biggest I've been to for a while. I got my bearings and navigated the metro to my hostel, pretty simple in the end. ...

My bus to Vigo was at 11 and took about 1.5 hours. I dropped my stuff at the hostel and went for a walk around. First stop was the supermarket to get some lunch, which I then took to the nearby park. It was a really beautiful park with amazing views over the city if you walked up to the castle. I sat there and ate my lunch before going back down the hill towards the port. I spent a few hours walking around the port and enjoying the weather- about 26 degrees and s...

I had thought I would go to A Coruña for the day but some of the staff said to me it wasn't that amazing and I thought it would be nice to spend the day with people at the hostel.

I arrived in Santiago DC at 7.15- the coach was over an hour early. Luckily my hostel was not far away and there was someone awake to open the door for me! I slept on the sofa until 9.15 in the common room. Before leaving for a walk around town I got talking to a German guy and a British guy. At about 11 I went out and saw the main attraction: the cathedral. I wasn't that impressed because the main side was covered in scaffolding (see picture). There were hundr...

So today I went to San Sebastián. For the first time in what feels like a long time I was in less than 30 degrees heat. It's strange how quickly your body adapts to different temperature, as 24 degrees felt chilly. However when I returned to Pamplona, and it was 34 degrees at 7pm, I had to adjust all over again. In San Sebastián I walked around the city and the whole beach. Again it was a very nice place to walk around and see the buildings. I managed to find ...
