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!
