Strolling through San Sebastian

After Bilbao, my Spanish Study Abroad class traveled to San Sebastian, where we interviewed Basque director Pablo Malo. He directed the 2014 film Laza and Zabala, centered on the kidnapping and torture of two ETA terrorist members, Jose Antonio Lasa and José Ignacio Zabala, by two Spanish policeman. Then, a group of us strolled through the streets of San Sebastian for a late tapas dinner, where I finally tried the classic tortilla Española. We capped off dinner with dessert at an ice cream shop, where I treated myself to a delicious chocolate scoop. The next day, we continued our Basque country unit by interviewing Basque writer Luisa Etxenique. Our Spanish art professor then took us on a tour of the city where we saw the Concha, the famous beach of San Sebastian. This trip was just beginning though because we were about to enter La Rioja.
