Hello. I'm traveling to San Sebastián in a few days with two friends. I'm very nature-focused and love photography so I want to spend one morning exploring and talking an easy walk/hike to somewhere memorable. I should not be friends are not big hikers so it needs to be on the easier side and not take more than a few hours. Aside from Monte Igueldo or Monte Urgull (which are in the running), I was looking into Pasai Donibaneko Puntako Itsas-argia - wander Pasai Donibane → walk Puntas → lighthouse viewpoint → walk back.

Anyone have experience with this site and is it worth it? I also welcome other recommendations!

My son is studying in Pamplona this fall and I'm excited to visit. We have three day weekend in October to explore other cities by train. I was thinking Bilboa and San Sebastian. Any other suggestions of places to visit instead come to mind that are easy to reach by train? Would it be better to do just one city in such a short time frame? If so, which is a better choice in mid-October given the weather? Thanks in advance.

We are heading to Bilbao and Donosti in the middle of December. I’m traveling with my daughter’s family (including 4 yo and 1 yo), two friends and my wife. Our #1 goal is to eat food, drink some wine and see some sights. What fun December activities are there to do from the 8th to the 17th?

Also, my 4 yo grandson loves trains. How is the train between Bilbao and Donosti?

We're a couple travelling round Madrid, Basque country, and Barcelona. We wanted to visit a winery like Txomin Etxaniz Txakolin Upategia but we don't have a car, it requires two buses and a 50 minute walk, and an Uber is €120 return.

Happy to share costs and flexible with dates until Friday!

Hello,

Can someone help me with getting some to smoke around here. I’m staying for another 8 days and wanted to smoke some in Zarautz. How does it work here? A dispensary or do I have to search for like a dealer?
Please help🙏🙏🙏

Hey hey some basque Uruguayans crossing the border for “france” to Bilbao for the ferias all weekend.

Are any of you holding a stand or a chosna? If so we would love to drop by and show some support :-)

Hi everyone - thinking of going to San Sebastián from the 26th January - 30th January. I wanted to check if all the main bars and food spots will be open at this time? I’ve seen mixed advice online - thanks :)

Can’t find actual street addresses online, the internet fails on this one. Tried all the below no dice. I was told cannabis clubs are kind of a closed shop more friends and family in Basque Country. I’ll persevere

Soy cantante y me mudo a San Sebastián en diciembre y busco músicos para montar una banda con temas propios.

Tengo algunas cancines propias y la idea es componer otras para tocar en directo

Mis referencias: The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Arctic Monkeys, Blur etc. aunque no me cierro a otros estilos

Soy brasileño pero canto en inglés, pero no me cierro a meter algún tema en español y aunque no sé euskera (pero estoy aprendiendo) podria intentar cantarlo

Busco:
Guitarrista
Bajista
Batería
Teclista (synth)

Puedo mandaros muestras de mis canciones si os interesa.

Esta es una: https://andredivito.bandcamp.com/track/death-by-anxiety
Aunque la idea es sonar un poco más rock o experimental que esto

La idea es sonar bien y salir a tocar de vez en cuando. Si te va, escríbeme!

Hola, alguien conoce algún sitio abandonado que me gustaría explorar? Y si alguien quiere crear un grupo para compartir estos sitios, me gustaría saberlo.

My wife and I are both in our early 40s and are planning a 10-year anniversary trip this March. We have about 10 days total, flying in and out of Paris.
We’ve been to Paris three times already, so although we love it, we don’t really want to spend much of this trip there.
Right now our plan is:
Arrive in Paris and spend the first night there
Bordeaux — 3 nights
San Sebastián — 4 nights
Back to Paris — 1 night before flying home
We are more into **enjoying a city than trying to see every attraction**. We love good food and wine, walking around nice neighborhoods, sitting at cafés, having some drinks, chilling in parks, and my wife also really enjoys shopping.
And maybe a little random, but **we love grocery stores and local markets when we travel** 😂. We can easily spend an hour walking around a nice supermarket checking out local food, wine, snacks, etc.
Since it’s our 10-year anniversary, we want the trip to feel romantic and special, but we also like to relax and actually enjoy the places we visit instead of constantly packing and moving hotels.
**Does Bordeaux + San Sebastián make sense for this amount of time, especially in March?**
Would you change the number of nights in either place? Add another stop? Or would you do a completely different route from Paris?
We’re highly open to suggestions. The only real restriction is that we arrive and fly back home from Paris.
Would really appreciate some real advice from people who know these places or have done something similar.

Dropping a friend to get the train but we will be driving a van. Where can i stop quickly to drop them off? We won't fit into the underground car park. Any advice? Bus stop? Taxi stop? In the street? TIA

I would like to try a nice basque cheese cake and it doesn't have to be at La Vina. I thought about searching on Google but there are so many good bakeries and restaurants rated above 4 so i thought to get some first hand accounts here too!

Also happy to venture out from San Sebastian to surrounding areas.

Has anyone stayed at Lasala Plaza Hotel in San Sebastián?? Looks nice but would love some reviews from real people.

We are going in a few weeks and we are going to do a day trip to Biarritz. Planning to bus there from San Sebastián but I wanted to taxi home so we can leave whenever we want. Has anyone got a taxi from downtown Biarritz to San Sebastián? Will that be easy?

Hi guys,

We’ll be doing a roadtrip in northern Spain and for my boyfriends birthday we’ll be in San Sebastián. I’d like to surprise him with a nice dinner reservation (unfortunately it falls on a Monday..)

Nonetheless I need your help and opinions. Looking for a nice sit down restaurant, it can be on the slightly pricier side since it’s a special occasion. We’re both foodies and really appreciate a well kept secret with a good menu (& wine card) 👀 so any tips and pointers for San Sebastián area? We have a car so if it’s a bit outside the city and worth going to that’d be no prob either.

Basque cheesecake would be a nice to have since he’s been dreaming about trying it for months now.. 😮‍💨 hahaha

PS: we’ll try allllll the pintxos on our journey but for this one a sit down restaurant would be appreciated.

I’ll be in San Seb in October and I want to tour the winery. Has anyone done this? I tried emailing the winery to make a reservation and have not heard back. Since it’s off season do you think I’ll be able to walk in day of? Any advice would be great! Thank you.

hi! i have a rental car and want to explore san sebastian. is there a place to park on the outskirts of the city & walk in to visit?
