SAN Sebastián - Spain

This is my favourite place on Earth, I arrived here by mistake, travelling through the border from France to get to Spain and finally found my paradise … we were only meant to spend 2 days here and 2 days became 2 weeks now now I can actually say I could live here !!

MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO in San Sebastián

  • La Concha Beach – it’s so beautiful.  If you walk further down you can rent chairs for very reasonable.
  • Hike!  My favorite easy hike is Mount Urgull.  The best view of any cafe is at the top.
  • Aquarium – kids and adults alike love this one
  • Take a boat cruise around, or to Santa Clara for the day.
  • Visit the old town and go on a Pinxto tour
  • Surf. Zurriola has plenty of options of surf camps and schools.
  • Shop!  To me, their speciality shops are some of the best out there.
  • Mount Igueldo – take the funicular or hike up to this old school amusement park.  Kids love this and it does have incredible views of the city.
  • Depending on the time of year depends on which festivals.  But there’s always something going culturally going on!  We are always there during Jazz Fest
  • Eat!  Whether it’s a Michelin starred restaurant, a pinxto, or a cafe next to a park – you’re going to find the best food.

Most of all I have now been here twice a year for 12 years and still love it as much as I dud the first time we arrived here !

Don’t miss the perfect sunset at zurriola beach where the locals gather on a weekend in the evening still surfing and eating but chilled out with a local beer in hand and music to celebrate what is the finest place on earth!
