We had trouble finding a place to stay here in Zumaia today. We didn’t realize when we were trying to make the reservation that there is a big festival in the town this weekend. But we did find a place to stay in kind of a rooming house way up at the top of the town. Not only is it clean and inexpensive, but we got a great workout walking back and forth, and, it turns out that just a few steps from the front door there are some beautiful views. Photos taken there this afternoon below. Also the young couple who run this place let us use their kitchen to boil some eggs for our trail breakfast tomorrow. They chatted with us while the eggs boiled and were friendly. The young man was so cute. He wanted to demonstrate the Basque language for us so asked his wife to have a short conversation between them. (She was a little more reserved and a little embarrassed, but she did it.) Basque is their first language and then Spanish and then English.
