The beach at Sopelana







Ever since I found out you can get to the beach by metro, I've wanted to go. So as soon as I'd taken care of finding a place to live and moving my stuff, I was on my way.
My roommate Xavier came along. He's from Barcelona, which also has metro-accessible beach, so he didn't quite have the same level of excitement as someone who'd been landlocked in Montreal all summer, but thought it sounded like fun. It was a gorgeous, sunny day.

There's quite a surf scene on the coast around here. The waves are surfing waves, not swimming waves, and the fact that it's late September meant that most beachgoers were content to tan or play around on the shore. As were we.

A cold beer and a kebab ( the Spanish version of a shish taouk) tided us over for the metro ride back to the centre.
