Today was a long day on the bus. Something like 4.5 hours from Oviedo to Bilbao then an hour break then another 1.5 hrs to San Sebastián. Spanish buses are quite good, exceedingly punctual and often the best way for certain routes that are not served well by train. For those planning a trip to Spain be sure to download the ALSA app. This is the main bus company in Spain. For longer trips, look for the “Supra” designation as these buses are much more luxurious with only 3 seats across and generally more direct. I had a Supra for the first part of my trip and it made it substantially more comfortable. Checked in to my Pension in San Sebastián, and then headed out for some Pinxtos as I hadn’t eaten all day. For whatever reason the place is crazy crowded, but fortunately you can still get into some places without too much effort. Not sure why it is this crazy, but possibly related to soccer game tomorrow.
