This is a very beautiful beach in San Sebastian. The entire beach is very large and has soft sand. Many tourists come here to sunbathe or participate in water tours. It is very lively, so don't miss it.
This is a beautiful city beach with a very wide area, soft sand and beautiful scenery. Every day, many tourists lie on the beach to sunbathe, mostly Europeans and Americans, with very few Asians. This is also a good place for beginners to practice surfing, and it is definitely worth a visit.

Santiago Cathedral, I like the colorful glazed glass on the top of the building the most. Various gorgeous colors are combined together to outline different charms. This colorful glazed light fascinates me, as if God is giving you a glimpse through this colorful light.
The afternoon sun refracts into the room through the glass, allowing you to glimpse the world. Beyond the material world seen by the naked eye, there is pure light, colorless light, and light is the path projected into the three-dimensional world.
Sitting on the bench in the church, closing my eyes, listening to the sound from the sky, my heart is unusually calm.
In the world, occasionally, I feel a space beyond the material world. This transcendence is precious.
The church was built in Santiago in the 17th century. It is dedicated to James, one of the 12 disciples of Christ. He was revered as the patron saint of the Christian country of Spain in the 18th century. It flourished due to the pilgrims. The side corridor is a pilgrimage route that can be walked around the church. The remains of James are placed in the underground altar.
