Miramar Palace

Miramar Palace is located in Donostia-San Sebastian, in the Guipuzcoa Province of the Basque Country, Spain, and is one of the most iconic historical buildings in the area. Built in the late 19th century, the palace was commissioned by Queen Regent Maria Christina of Spain to serve as a summer residence for the royal family. The architecture blends English country estate style with neo-Gothic elements, featuring a combination of red brick and light-colored stone that gives it a dignified and elegant appearance. Since the 20th century, the palace has witnessed historical changes such as royal successions and urban development, and was later taken over by the municipal government and opened to the public. Today, it not only retains a rich historical atmosphere but also serves as a venue for cultural exchanges, academic events, and conferences. Strolling through the palace gardens, visitors can feel the elegance of the former royal summer retreats while enjoying the unique natural scenery of the coast, making it an important window for travelers to understand the local history and culture.Spain · San Sebastian

【Bilbao】This place, whether it is the new city or the old city, is beautiful and a good place. I bought gas in Spain and found it was half cheaper than in France. I felt like I finally got gas at a reasonable price. No wonder the yellow vests in France were going to smash, smash, loot and burn, but after all the trouble, gas prices still haven’t come down‍♀️ At that time, I had the urge to fill every empty bottle in the car and take it back to France.

This was perhaps the most disappointing place we visited in San Sebastian. From the very first minute, it felt like they were trying to make money on literally everything. First, you have to pay to enter the grounds—3 euros per person, not per car. Then, almost all the attractions are paid separately, there are huge lines everywhere, and even the toilets are paid. All day, we never felt like the cost was worth it. On the contrary, it seemed like they were simply trying to extract as much from visitors as possible. The complex itself didn't particularly impress us. There are much more interesting places with beautiful views and entertainment where you don't have to pay for every step. Personally, I don't recommend wasting your time or money on this place. In my opinion, it's more focused on making money off tourists than providing them with a truly enjoyable experience.

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.
