I took the Eusoktren from San Sebastián to Bilbao even though I knew it would be a substantially longer ride than taking a bus. This is the coastal train that runs all the way from Bilbao to Hendaye in France. It was fun because it passed through a number of places that I had walked through and stayed in on my first stage of the Camino del Norte. Got in to Bilbao shortly after noon and walked from the station to my hotel. After checking in it was off to lunch at one of the local eateries. Bilbao has a very different vibe from San Sebastián, but still has a lot of Tapas/Pintxos bars etc. I am struck by how important where you stay is when you visiting a city. Make every effort to stay in a prime location, your impression of the city will have a lot do with where you are based. Tomorrow is my first day of walking on this trip, although I have averaged about 15,000+ steps per day over the last week.
