Description

Would you like to delve into the essence and history of San Sebastián and have a great time?

This free tour will take you through anecdotes to the heart of each historical period of the city and the incredible capacity for transformation that San Sebastián has had over time: from being one of the most important ports of Castile, through stories of whales, pirates, pelota players, and chefs, which will help us understand the aristocratic and bourgeois San Sebastián, and the beautiful city we enjoy today.

We will also address some of the characters of San Sebastián, not only those who transcended in history but also some who went more unnoticed but are undoubtedly an important part of the painting of San Sebastián's days (from history, sensitivity, and laughter).

We will divide the route into a landscape and historical part, essential to experience that balance between architecture and the landscape that the city holds, a more historical part, and a more current one, so that you will definitely experience the essence of the city before you leave. Additionally, you will receive guidance on how to visit the city and its surroundings meaningfully and to eat the best pintxos in the world.
