Old Town and Urgull

In the morning I explored the old town and walk around Urgull. I looked in on a market in the old town. I didn't check if there were actually fishmongers in the Pescadería building, it may be historical and that the following pictures were taken inside.

Belardenda in Basque translates to lawnmower but it looks like a haberdashery to me? Mysteries one uncovers in retrospect.

More stores and a Lidl supermarket. Lidl is a competitor to Aldi.

The side and back of the Kursaal where I had attended a film show the night before.

The Urumea river which was important for transporting goods in the past. The Kursaal was the only attraction to the east of interest to me.

I liked the facade, the only reason for the picture.

This is the Gipuzkoako Argazkilari Elkartea / Sociedad Fotográfica de Gipuzkoa (SFG) building which houses exhibitions. I didn't look inside.

The road going around Mount Urgull. Not terribly scenic but you can enjoy the views of the sea and Igueldo.

Now I've emerged on the La Concha side of Urgull where this giant iron sculpture stands.

Taken from the roof of the Aquarium.

The wider scene.

 

I would have to cross this bridge, Maria Kristina Zubia, the next morning to get to the bus station.

I had a slightly upmarket 3 course late lunch.

The main course.

The dessert. The meal was competent if not the most memorable.

Then it was back to the hostel to rest until the evening.
