The Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra is one of my favorite places to stay in Spain, especially since it is in the ideal location overlooking La Concha Bay!
We always get a room overlooking the bay. What a way to start the day.
Since were here last, the entire hotel had been beautifully remodeled. This is the bar that overlooks the bay. Flor from Austrias was our waitress and she could not have been nicer.
Such a pretty room with comfy beds, pillows and linens.
Morning view of the bay from my room. As you can see, La Concha bay has a very high tide but the when you walk out into the water, it is a gradual decline in depth. It truly is a swimmers paradise or even for those who love to jog in the water.
The sun setting on the large building which is the City Hall. It was once the home of the Gran Casino from the 1st of July of 1897 to 1924 when gambling was prohibited. It was built during the Belle Epoque which was a period of peace and prosperity.
Every morning the beach is dragged and ready for the swimmers and sun bathers. I shot this photo using the panoramic setting on my Iphone.
It was fun being here during the regatta which takes place the first two Sundays in September. For over 115 years, people have crowded in all around La Concha to view the regattas. The origins of the regatta come from the fishing and whaling culture of the Basque.
Looking down on the hotel's outdoor patio which is a great place to relax at the end of the day.
Tourist and locals alike gather to have a drink and visit.
Such a beautiful setting.
The city comes to life when the sun sets. This is the view from my balcony. It's tapa time soon!
Join me for my Jewels of the Northern Spain tour. Space is limited.
