The Pyrenees are beautiful, we drove to Arizkan and sent a week in a small basque village for Christmas with amazing views and great Christmas traditions.

We used the car to travel around the San Sebastian area. Sometimes we would do city drives, and other times, mountain drives with our family and luggage in tow. It was very useful for carrying our swimming gear and all the shopping for our mountain residence! It was a wonderful way to experience the beautiful scenery in the area. We also really enjoyed using the carplay function for coordinating our plans with our other family members on the go!
