En route to San Sebastian we dialed up Starwood to book into the Maria Cristina hotel on SPG points. Luckily because we were only staying one night and it was a weeknight, they were able to upgrade us to the Picasso suite (rack rate of 1,850 EUR). Yikes! All the rooms combined must have been over a thousand square feet. We cruised the streets of SS until about 2AM checking out the crazy scene down at the beach with hordes of people just making their way to the bars. The next morning we checked out the pedestrian areas of the city, the beach again, and climbed up the to view the old fort and have a panoramic of the la Concha Bay. I may have promised Julie that there was a cool bar at the top of the hill with the best view ever. The bar tables were still there but so was the scalfolding from the renos. Oops. Another breakfast/lunch after 2pm. Around 4pm we hit the road for Barcelona where we can settle in for the next 4 nights.
