This is great, and allows us to head straight for the waterfront and a leisurely stroll through Hondarribia. Everyone is out today. You can buy nearly any kind of knock-off you want, but we don&#8217;t buy any. Since today is a Basque holiday, there is a high concentration of handsome men in red berets and neck kerchiefs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lundeby.com\/blog\/photos\/spain8.jpg\" alt=\"Madrid\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sight-seeing is fine, and the people-watching is endlessly entertaining. We spend a certain amount of time watching a 2-year-old boy chase his RC car until he&#8217;s distracted by a cigarette butt that absolutely must be kicked through a hole in the sea wall. Right across the water is France, and a small ferry will take you there for a few euros.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We take pictures of the local architecture and find a bas relief that may or may not be Juan de la Cosa. Columbus&#8217;s flagship The Santa Maria was built in Basque shipyards and was the property of a Basque fellow (called a Bizkaian) Juan De La Cosa who was also its shipmaster. So the question is, was America &#8220;discovered&#8221; by Columbus? Or by a Basque? The Bizkaians would say by a Basque, and who are we to disagree? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We find a shoreline restaurant and have a relaxing meal of pizzas, salads, and crostini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><b>Click on any photo below for full screen slideshow.<\/b><p><\/p>\n<p>SWIPE or use spacebar to PLAY\/PAUSE.<\/p><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t.LoadingImg img {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmax-width: 95px;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tmax-height: 95px;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbox-shadow:  none;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\/* style for image thumbnail fixed*\/\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .img-thumbnail {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tpadding: 4px;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t@media only screen and (min-device-width: 665px) and (max-device-width: 667px) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .img-thumbnail {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t    padding: 4px;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-fade .b-wrapper,#fagp_5189 .b-link-fade .b-top-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-flow .b-wrapper,#fagp_5189 .b-link-flow .b-top-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-stroke .b-top-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-stroke .b-bottom-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-box .b-top-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tborder: 16px solid rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-box .b-bottom-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-stripe .b-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-horisontal .b-top-line,#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-horisontal .b-top-line-up{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-horisontal .b-bottom-line,#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-horisontal .b-bottom-line-up{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-vertical .b-top-line,#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-vertical .b-top-line-up{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-vertical .b-bottom-line,#fagp_5189 .b-link-apart-vertical .b-bottom-line-up{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .b-link-diagonal .b-line{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .hidepics {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdisplay: none !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (min-width: 992px){\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-6 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 49.97% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-4 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 33.30% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-3 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 24.90% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-2 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 16.60% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-5 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 20% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-8 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 12% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t#fagp_5189 .col-md-10 {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 10% !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t#lightbox .lb-outerContainer{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\theight: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t.page-id-1441 #elementor-lightbox { display: none !important;
