From my journal, August 13, 2003:
The Hotel Europa is very posh, 3 stars! Tom and I are living the high life. Our room is located on the top floor (6th), has two balconies and is finely decorated. The hotel's name is plastered all over everything, towels, soap, shampoo, even jam jars!
We settled into our room, checked the view from the balcony and were both startled by a tremendous bang...Fireworks! It turns out we've arrived during a week-long festival (La Semana Grande), which includes fireworks every night. Off we trotted down to the beach (a mere two blocks away) to watch the pyrotechnic extravaganza. It was a magical end to our first night in San Sebastian!
