The giant Italian hailstone record of a week ago has already been broken. Meanwhile in Milan if you want your car fixed the body shops and autoglass people are offering appointments in January.

Seen a lot of the ones in the Bella Italia group just had to abandon their hire cars at the site last week. No fit state to drive back to the airports.

I wonder how does car hire insurance deal with hail?

Would those drivers be hit with a penalty for not returning their hire cars to the airport?
Or would they due compensation because the vehicle became unroadworthy & hire company didn't get them sorted in time (hardly)

I think Sicily is relatively ok now, but we were running out of time to cancel the hotel without penalty and she who must be obeyed didn't want to take the risk. I waited until the last minute before cancelling but it wasn't looking promising at the time.

Stayed in San Sebastián for 5 nights back in 2014.
The main beach La Concha is really nice.
Lots of great places for food in the old town.
The newer part then has your high street shops etc.
Very nice place I'd definitely return.
I can't remember the names of the places we ate in now at this stage but there's good places all over.
