We arrived in Madrid then waited there for 5 hours for our next flight to San Sebastián. San Sebastián is a smallish airport. We caught a bus right outside, it was perfect.

Turned out to not be so perfect. Turns out that the town of Irun is not even a mile from the airport. So yes as we had read online you can just take a bus or taxi to Irún. Which we did 6E, rode the bus for 45 minutes until everyone else was gone, turns out that Irun was right there! So another 6E and 45 more minutes to get back to the airport so we could then walk to our Albergue.

It all worked out well in the end, we met a young woman from England who we were able to spend some time with and get to know a little bit.

After checking in and getting our assigned bunks we headed to explore the town. What is really neat about Spain is that the people are very social. They were all out with their kids or walking their dogs, or just meeting up with friends and family on the sidewalk.

This Albergue sleeps 66 people and it is at capacity. They allow us to use the kitchen and we picked up a few things and had an early night
