Paella Festivals today. It's an annual gathering for the Bilbaoians, where groups gather to see who could make the best paella. Very festive and carnival atmosphere. We didn't get to taste any of the dish because most of us were quite hungry and revolted when told of a 2 hours wait. Walked to a cafe down by the beach. Tapa and beer. The weather took a turn for the worst and we all headed back. Everyone was tired and we all went back to the hotel for some siesta. Afterward, we were off to dinner which is a small miracle in itself. First, there are 20 people involve and it's a Sunday in August, which meant half of the town is closed. We ended up in a great restaurants and some wonderful and tasty meals. A great end to the closing of our honeymoon.
