Tour description
San Sebastián, or Donostia in Basque, is one of Europe's most beautiful coastal cities, embracing the magnificent golden crescent of La Concha Bay. On this walking tour, a local guide will share the story of a city that evolved from a fishing port into an elegant summer retreat for Spanish royalty, and today stands as a global culinary capital.
You will stroll along the famous bay promenade, immerse yourself in the vibrant Old Town brimming with pintxos bars, and learn about the Basque language, identity, and traditions that give this corner of Spain its distinctive character. Elegant, relaxed, and framed by lush green hills and the deep blue sea, exploring San Sebastián on foot is pure joy.
